Ugh! I stopped picking my fingers (and eating the skin!) But I became a massage therapist and can't do it anymore. Now I pick my feet! I'm 35. Ewwwwwww....

get weekly manicures. keep polish on your nails (clear if you're a guy). if you pay to have them done, maybe you'll be less likely to pick. i'm a manicurist and i see this all the time.

Not only do I get tired of sore fingers, but I'm also scared that my teeth might get affected in some way. Second poster: I tend to eat them too, (ewwww is right!). And my daughter sees me sometimes without me realizing it, and she tells me to stop...That's one of the main reasons I want to stop too. I've had nightmares about this too, like I have huge holes in my thumb and stuff! lol
I go through stages when it's worse than others...in times of stress or anxiety. Sometimes when I catch myself about to bite my fingers, I just "rub" my fingers together. Sometimes that helps.
Thank you all for your advice.

After I trim my nails, I take the nail clippers, and clip the first layer of skin off on my finger tips, where the skin is still attached on both sides, then I'll chew on it, and eat it. Only sometimes, when I'm really stressed, not all the time. Or I'll sometimes take a needle, and push it through the first layer of skin on one side of my finger tip and push the needle out the other side, then twist the needle until the skin breaks.

I am a complusive skin picker on my arms of 14 years. I won't wear tank tops and will only be in a bathing suit around people I know very well. If you can stop I praise you, I wish I could but it is harder to beat than a drug addiction. Take care.

Instead of eating your finger skin, try eating a bullet.

My sister and I are the same way, our fingers look terrible. It doesn't matter how painful n bloody it gets, we can't stop.
