I have this habit of chewing my knuckles and the skin off around my fingers and thumb. It started when I was young. I suppose it's a nervous habit...but it's out of control. My hand looks like it got burned. I never used to chew and eat the skin, but now I just swallow it down. I honestly don't know why I do it.

It started as a nervous habit and now its just a habit. Lots of people do it. It's like biting finger nails. There are far worse habits to have.

I chew on my fingers and knuckles, but usually not enough so the skin comes off.

haha i do this all the time. But i bite it off which makes my mouth look weird. I only bite off the really dry bits, i don't like to leave it raw because I've seen some people that lick their lips over and over again and it's not so pretty.

totally gross~ stop doing that ~ There are things you can be doing with your hands besides biting at them. Relax.
