So I've always had problems with ingrown toenails and have always been able to pull them out one way or another. However, I've recently been going further to the point of hacking at my toenails and managing to pull them out from the root. I don't suppose anyone has any ideas for deterrents or what might distract me from doing it. The pain, blood and such doesn't bother me at all and neither does the prospect of my nails not growing back.
