Suggest Remedy For Ripping Off Toe Nail For No Reason
I completely rip off a toe nail for no reason. I have been doing this since I was a teenager. I think it lets me concentrate on the pain of it, I am not sure. I had a bad life but have turned it around with help from many . I did this again the other day while away on vacation out of the blue and can t figure out why or how to stop. Any input is greatly appreciated .

hello, glad to help you.
ripping off toe nails is quite painful. as you mentioned you do this frequently without any obvious reason. doing so help you concentrate. i believe that you seek pleasure while doing so.
you might have this anomaly where people get pleasure by giving pain to themselves, torturing or hurting ones own body.
i would suggest you to seek a consultation from a shrink (psychiatrist) asap, because if its so, its just the beginning and can be dealt easily.
