My ickiest and worst habit is pulling out the skin beside my nails. I think it’s called ingrown nail. I wish I can wear this habit out, but I cannot!! Is there any shrink that can help me with this?

I think this started way back when I was a little girl- I love cutting my nails short. When I cut them, I always see this piece of skin sticking out beside my nail. Kid instinct usually takes place – I pull it out, little piece of skin/nail comes off, and a river of blood gushes out of my finger. Next thing you know, almost all of my fingers are swollen.

Sometimes I still pull them out, the ingrown nails I mean. I really want to stop doing that but I just can’t resist.
