A strip of skin at on either side of a fingernail people pick at. Hangnails are extremly painful, and very addicting. It's a habbit for some to pick at hangnails until the strip of skin has come off, and start a new one after they're finished bleeding.
During dinner Margo's thumb started bleeding all over the place because she just kept picking at her hangnail.
