I'm sorry but not normal...do you purposely make blisters so you can eat them? I'm nauseous, sorry, but thats pretty gross I would try a new hobby and never tell anyone this...
OK that's fucking gross and you need help. Are you a Cannibal? Do you eat people?
People pick and eat buggers, toe jam, dead skin etc. I wouldn't run around announcing it, but it's not shocking.
Actually it is Excoriation Disorder. Which is a mental disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pick at one's own skin, often to the extent that damage is caused. It can include eating of said skin.
I do it all the damn time. It doesn't have to be the feet it can be anywhere. I find there is more dry skin on my feet than anywhere else so that's my go to place.
The only concern that has been brought to my attention is if I'm using it as a way of self harming (which I've done since I was 7-8 years old). If I'm not picking to hurt myself then I don't know why it would be a big deal.
