I have psoriasis, and it scabs and itches, I scratch them all the time. but never eat them. eek. but keep lotion on them and let the sun beat on them. the sun helps mine. and I don't care anymore if people stare at it. I just ignore them, I was embarrassed at first, but grown out of it. its part of life. and the way I look at it, if people don't like seeing it they don't have to look. good luck.

anybody on right here that has stated you to seek for professional help is authentic. additionally, the guy who stated you to redirect your concentration to grooming is authentic besides. it rather is purely that a redirect would make you obsess on grooming your self instead of biting your nails. i'd placed money into some toothpicks to bite on on your nail-biting. next step, take the reflect out of your bathing room if it particularly is conceivable. no count if this is a medicine cabinet, purely pop the hinges and take off the door. make beneficial that each and every of the mirrors on your place are hand held. (rather stressful to p.c.. at your face with one hand.) place a bandage around the techniques of each and every of your palms, over your fingernails. I do each and every of the comparable issues you do, purely to not the severe which you're taking it. on a similar time as i became into typing this, i got here across myself chewing on the floor around my fingernails. each and every little thing that I and anybody else has stated you to do on listed right here are momentary fixes. the best element so you might do is to get some help, so as which you will locate the authentic motives which you're doing those issues.

Maybe it's a nutritional deficiency. I'd have that checked by a doctor. Sometimes low tyrosine or carnitine can do it, from what I hear.

get counselling, possibly medication
it's all likely anxiety related.
