During the dry season, wisps on your fingers can appear before you know it. Sometimes they get caught in the fibers of your clothes, causing pain and sometimes they bleed. And even though they are small wounds, they are a nuisance because they do not heal easily. In this article, we will focus on such wisps on the fingers, and introduce the causes of wisps, what not to do, and how to take care of them.

What are the causes of wisps on fingers?
The main cause of wisps is dryness. The skin on the hands, especially the fingertips, tends to dry out due to the lack of sebaceous glands, and if no care is taken, wisps are likely to occur. Therefore, it is an ironclad rule to take care of one’s hands after doing water work, washing hands, disinfecting hands, and other activities that are said to cause dryness. Also, be careful when you are sick or tired, or if you have poor circulation or unbalanced nutrition. A well-balanced diet can also help prevent wisps on the fingers, but if this is difficult, supplements may be helpful.
Pulling off wisps is a definite no-no!
When wisps form, it is easy to pull them out, but this is not a good idea. It is sometimes said, “Pulling upward on a wiggle will make it less painful,” but forcibly pulling it out or biting it is not the way to go. Forcibly pulling out a wiggle can cause bacteria to grow in the area, which can worsen the condition. In fact, “suppurative onychomycosis” and “gangrene” caused by a chafing can not be easily cured with over-the-counter medications, so be careful.
How to properly care for wisps that have formed and essential items
The proper way to take care of wisps is to safely remove them at the root when they appear. It is important to remove them gently and carefully with a special care product for winkles, rather than forcibly removing them. If you do this while the skin is dry, you may damage the skin further and adversely affect the area around the wisps on your fingers. And now, here are three essential items for wiggle care. There is no need to buy a whole set of these items, so please choose the one you are most comfortable with.
Essential items recommended for wiggle care (1) “Cuticle nippers
Cuticle nippers are tools used for nail care, such as gel nails. The tip of the blade is as small as 5 mm, so it can easily cut off even the smallest nicks on the fingertips. The pliers-like shape fits easily in the hand, making it easier to perform detailed work than scissors. It may be difficult to use until you get used to it, but once you do, it is an excellent tool for cutting fingernails as well.
Recommended essential item for ripple care (2) “Scissors-type cuticle cutter/scissors cutter
For men who find nippers difficult to use, we recommend the scissors-type ama clip. It is one that can cut the nipple from the root, and the firm cutting edge makes it easy to cut even the smallest of details. This product would also make a great gift for people who work in restaurants, hairdressers, and other occupations that require heavy use of the hands.

The main cause of chipping is dryness, and it is best to rely on Vaseline, hand cream, or nail oil to take care of it.
