Compulsively pick/rub the skin bumps on my hand webs

I compulsively pick and rub the tiny little bumps located in the skin between the index finger and thumb. I've been doing this for years and it gets worse whenever i'm anxious or scared. I've looked up if anyone else does this and have found nothing, so pretty much just wondering does anyone else do this? i have a picture of one of my hands after years of picking attached.

    Unless you have Gold membership you cannot attach a photo.

    What sort of bumps are you talking about?
    Personally, I have no bumps, it's just smooth and soft.

    I have the little ridges there too and I can see how that might attract some nervous habit. From the sound of it, it seems normal to me. But if it is harming your skin you should try to tackle maybe a healthier habit. It takes a good 30 days to break a habit. Cheers.
