Help! Ive been biting my nails since i was like 7. Im 15 now. So awhile. But its getting bad lately, my fingers have been bleeding i bite them so much. It drives my mom nuts too. I do it a lot, but when i'm stressed out, i devour my fingers (usually come to school with bandaids the next day its so bad). And to make it worse, I play the piano and sometimes i have difficutly doing things because my fingers hurt from the wounds. Thats the main reason i want to quit. And when i play and people watch, im kidna liek eew dont look at my fingers, theyre disgusting. i need something that works, im a guy so i cant paint my nails. sometimes i bite without even thinking about it. any help is appreciated!

I was a nail biter for many years and what worked for me was White Iodine. You can get it at any drug store just ask the pharmacist if you can't find it. It is colorless and odorless once it dries on your nails. But the taste is horrible. Plus side to this is that it is non-toxic unlike many clear nail polishes. This really worked for me. I bit my nails for 15 years!!!!!

Walgreens has a nail polish called Thum or something. Anyway it contains cactus oil. It stopped my 6 year old from nailbiting due to stress at school. Good Luck

Try putting clear polish on your nails -- won't show, but you will taste it. Also, keep your fingers busy -- play with a pencil or something to keep them out of your mouth

Hi there !
Follow the advise given by sp4cemens..! It sounds very good..!
The irony of the situation is that...u know the cause...u know the after effects and still you continue it...
Maybe in 1-2 years, when you become more mature, you will stop it..!
If there is a will, there is a way..right ?

Dip them in your least favorite sauce then wipe it off the flavor will still be there but it will taste gross when you put them in your mouth do this for a while then soon it will be over

They have this bitter stuff you can put on your nails. Worked for me till I stopped putting it on, then back to biting.
