I constantly and biting the skin around my finger, on my hand, palm, etc. I just chew it and swallow it. I do not know why I do it, but does anyone else have the same problem? If so, is there anything to help me stop!?
I do the same thing what helped me was to use my hands instead of chewing them i tried to always keep my hands busy like drawing or writing i still do it sometimes but not nearly as bad and i also herd that some people put spicy seasonings under their nails i hope this helped~^^
I do that as well. I bite my fingers to the point where they bleed, and my nails are very small. I do not bite my palms, but the fingers and nails I do as swallow, and I know it's disgusting. I also sometimes bite my forearm, but never to the point where it bleeds. Just to feel the slight pinch. I'm not sure why it entices me so much.
This sounds like a modified form of a phychological disorder where the person scratches their whole body to the point of harming it.
You might want to see a psychologist if this is a big issue. If, however, it's a small amount of skin and isn't really obvious, it's probably not an issue.
I do this too, don't swallow any skin, but I do the exact same thing since I was a kid.
Chewing I can relate to, but I've never swallowed it. The biting usually starts at a hangnail or loose cuticle, then escalates to all the skin around the nail. Maybe throw in the occasional nail-chipping and biting as well. Disgusting, I know, but it has yet to place me under any ailment.
You might want to try to stop that habit. It can't be good for your skin.
No it's not normal. But I do it too. It's a habit caused by stress for me. I started biting my nails, then moved on to chewing the skin around my nails.
Eh. I'm sorry for what I'm going to say because I know everyone has their habbits and things they like to do..
But damn, thats kinda nasty. So mich bacteria and shit (literally) is on your hands..
Most people don't even wash their own hands after using the restroom, and then you go out and about touching it all, just getting all of their goopedy goop on your hands. Bleck...
Again, I'm sorry for that. I know it in ways is like a stress relieved too for you assume.. so I'm not trying to nit pick. We all have our vices.
Good luck with this habbit!
