Ever since I was a kid I've always had a habit and it always had something to do with eating. I used to bite and eat my finger nails. The habit I have now is to itch and eat the scabs and dead skin on my scalp. I know it sounds gross but I just can't stop. I always end up doing it unconsciously. I really want to know what is causing me to do this. Please help. Thanks
I used to bite my nails up until the last few years. I figured out that I mainly did it well driving in traffic or watching movies. Kind of strange but I stopped. I do how ever like to bite the skin off the sides of my nails. Is that dead skin? Oh well better then my head. Lol
I really don't think thats normal though to eat the scabs off of your head. Sorry but thats icky.
You should goggle that as stated earlier.
I've always eaten scabs from cuts and scrapes, peeling skin from sunburn etc, when thye're naturally falling off. Not sure about your scalp habit, cause I don't think scabs should be forming there for no reason! If you're scratching it to cause them then that's a problem in itself.
