I’ve got a hangnail right now…. I can either rip it off now and deal with the pain, or just wait for it to grow out and then it just lets go somehow.

Try a dab of crazy glue.
It will either glue whatever nail is left together, or act like a nail & protect that sensitive skin. If you need to build up some material baking soda will help reinforce the glue & make a composite material you can sand down.
My nails suck & I supposedly have cuticle psoriasis so every part of them sucks. My nails were always chipping & peeling with cuticles that would spit & never stay attached to the nail.(I’ve tried 100 creams & nothing is 1/3rd as good as t*he Naked Bee Orange Blossom Honey Hand Salve,* it’s magic)
Women **definitely** notice your nails & hate gross & ugly ones.
I used to get really bad ingrown toenails in my big toe that would end up getting infected. I would always fuck with them & make them worse… it’s so annoying having that little stab of pain in every step.
Eventually I tried recreating & reinforcing where the nail should be with a bit of index card & crazy glue. Once it stopped bothering me I stopped making them worse & haven’t had one for a decade.
on the subject of foot care, I keep a roll of paper medical tape nearby, especially when breaking in new boots. It’s like an instant portable callous & amazing to prevent or protect blisters.
It’s great for covering up mosquito bites so they don’t itch & don’t get itchier when you scratch them as well.
Combining paper tape with a piece of a 2″ x 2″ hydrocolloid bandage cut to fit also makes for the ultimate bandaid.
it’s all magic stuff. crazy glue, paper tape, hydrocolloid bandage is the ultimate first aid kit. Add in some quikclot & a tampon (puncture/gunshot) & you can endure anything uncomfortable & survive anything survivable. Not only can you glue a bad wound closed, you can glue the tampon string to the far side of the cut use it to pull an even bigger wound closed (then glue other side to hold & double back.
… This turned into a rant, but I raised myself in a lot of ways so I endured these pet peeves for a looooong time before figuring something out & it just feels so nice to have less problems.
