im 20 and ive been eating my finger skin all my life.

i'm 20 and i'm happily married and i have a 6 1/2 month old and i'm pregnant again. but all my life, i mean...since i can remember. i have always bitten and eatin the skin off my fingers, i used to bite my nails too but i stopped that. and i eat the skin on my lips sometimes and even scabs when i get them, i used to cut myself just to get scabs so i could pick them. my husband helped me stop that. the biggest thing i do now is just bite my fingers. and i like doing it, its weird, and my fingers look horrible but it makes me feel better. but i'm afraid of future problems with the skin on my fingers, cuz i've been doing it for years. and i haven't found a way to stop. even strong will doesn't help.

I'm 15 and i can't remember when i started biting but I've never even heard of anyone else doing it, i bite my knuckles, to the point where they split and they look so bad and make writing and sport uncomfortable but i just can't stop and my family and friends are always commenting on how bad it looks and it makes my breath stink and i get nervous handing people things, like in shops, in case they notice, also I've noticed if it's getting to an exciting part in a book or movie, I'll bite. Thanks so much, reading that other people do it too makes me feel less abnormal :P p.s i never comment on anything, but i wanted to share XD

Hi, I went on this site about 6 months ago and was stunned to see how many people did the exact same thing as myself. I went to a psychologist to try and stop and she told me I'd probably never stop biting my fingers. I couldn't accept that and I didn't go back. I found a CURE!!!! It's been over 2 moths and I haven't biten. My fingers are healed and my compulsion dissolved within 2 days. Have you ever heard of energy medicine or energy psychology? Emotional Freedom Technique or E.F.T. is what dissolved my compulsion. All in all it took 15 minutes and I haven't had the urge to do it since. I read on this site a tip that some girl gave about using a nail file and filing the skin on your fingers in the direction it grows. I started doing that. It made it much easier but really it wasn't hard at all. I want everyone to try this. I also healed an old knee injury, have been losing weight AND have been treating my husbands fibromyalgia so he is free of pain. This is no joke. This works. I am now studying to become an Eden Energy Medicine Practitioner and hope to spread these techniques as far as I can. So, I can't explain it in writing but if you go to youtube and search EFT for compulsive behaviors you will find a wealth of information. The idea is that you tap on certain accupuncture points on the body while saying out loud phrases to reset your subconscious. The way I describe it is that my conscious brain and subconscious brain finally had the same intention and the electromagnetic pulse from the tapping is what made that connection. PLEASE go and help yourself. It will be the best thing you could ever do. I suffered from this disorder for 34 years and in two days it was GONE! POOF! I had so much guilt and shame attached to this compulsion and it rippled into the rest of my life. A weight has been lifted. I never thought I would see my hands like this. I am a new person. It seems very silly at first but keep an open mind and do it anyway. It's not the type of thing you have to believe in for it to work. If you do it it will work. Peace and Love Cara

Hi. I have been a biter for all my life. In fact when I was little my dad used to soak my fingers in vinegar. Gross, I know. I used to just bite my nails but is stopped. I constantly have to paint my nails so I pick the paint off not my nails. After i stopped i started biting the skin off my upper, I am doing it right now actually. I have to constantly put chapstick on. I have tried all types of lipbalm, and chapstick, even lotion. A year ago i started to bite the thick skin at the tips of my thumbs. I later spread to the rest of my fingers. And you can only see when i take a long shower or a bath, but the tops of my fingers are all chewed up and I hate it. I do have a really busy schedule. and I am always busy. but believe in work hard, play/relax hard. It is more of a casual thing now than a stress reflex. my cuticles have completely healed though, and I am proud of that I am not longer getting that skin flaking of of them. But i can stop biting. When I found this site, I was so filled with joy.

My name is Kevan and im 17. I've been chewing my fingers since i can remember... I've attempted at trying to quit a tremendous amount of times and its proven to be no use, especially since i take 70mg vyvance(ADHD meds{amphetamines}) and its honestly the most satisfying nervous tick. sometime i bite off all of the skin around my thumb, literally the entire top and back of my thumbs, and it will occasionally bleed. I moved onto biting my nails but that only lasts so long since now i have no nails and on top of that, my nails are half the size they should be and i will peel strips of the nail of kinda of like layers and now alot of them have dents and crevices and bumps and its just all messed up. But, I find it comforting to have found this site and more people with this issue. I have always been known for biting at my hands and it really is a nasty habit...hell i was burned severely on the palm of my hand and the scar is now excess skin and i always bite and eat that too...why is it so damn satisfying? hmm...well anyways, happy to share! thanks.

I am 17 years old and I have been biting my fingers since I was about 10 years old.. I thought that I was the only person in the world with this problem until I looked into it more. This habit has really affected my day to day life and especially in sports. I am an avid golfer and I have to put bandaids on all of the fingers I chew on because if I don't they Will crack and start bleeding golf along with basketball football any sport where your hands come into play. I have stopped biting for about a year and then it just starts right back up. I hope to shake the habit again soon.

Hello.So glad to have found this site. I always felt like I was the only person who did this. I don't bite my nails. What I do is bite my knuckles. Ive done this since I was 10 years old and I am 27 yrs old now. A LONG time!! It is a nervous habit for sure. It also feels very satisfying. I bite off the little knuckle hair and the skin to wear my skin splits open and it bleeds. On my left hand i chew on my pinky and ring finger (which sucks because I was so worried about when I got married and didn't want any closeup photos of my hands with my wedding ring) On my right hand I chew on my pinky and the pointer finger. I never have chewed on my thumbs. and in the past I chewed on other fingers too but as of now its just those fingers I chew on. I always get embarrassed whenever people see my hands. i get nervous when someone at a salon wants to use a new lotion on my hands. They always say "what happened to your fingers?!" I just say its ezema because I am not about to tell some stranger that I bite my fingers! I feel like its made my hands look so much older and just gross. if I didnt have this issue I would have nice hands. I will share with you that I do have general anxiety disorder, depression and at some points panic disorder. Ive always been a nervous person. It sucks a lot. I am on an anti depressant and a benzo. I notice when I am at my happiest I don't bite as much. Thanks for reading and for sharing your stories.

I have been biting my skin around my finger since I was in fifth grade. It all started with this idea that doing so would make me stronger. I used to wrap ribbons around my fingers so they wouldn't feel so sore and rough but then I would pick through the ribbons. My mom and my brother bite and eat their skin off of their fingers as well. I wear bandaids on all my fingers to help me not do this and because they hurt so bad some times but then, just like the ribbons, I pick the bandaids.. I am embarrassed to hand people things and I work in health care so I get worried about all kinds of things in that subject. I love to eat the skin it makes me feel so good to peel off a big chunk and chew it. It feels good on my fingers and if I don;t pick my fingers feel too tight or like they have too much skin on them. I know this sounds totally wacked.

I'm 20 & since my parents divorce back when I was a 5 year old kid I've always had the nervous habit of basically picking at the skin around my fingers & toes. At one point the anxiety of the whole situation got me so badly I'd be eating the skin at every hard point on both my hands and be biting my nails down to the point it looked like I had no nails whatsoever. It looked like I had a really skin condition and no one would want to hang around me. I changed my habits eventually and now I just eat the skin and nails on my fingers. But they look so gross and there's so little I can do. My father, while I was growing up, tried putting this foul tasting varnish on my nails to stop me from biting - but I still did it! I was so intent on biting my nails to the point they bled. I could never really get into playing basketball at school, which is something I really liked playing, because the nails would be so weak they'd break open making the delicate skin open to air causing great amounts of concentrated pain. But to this day I still bite. I really want to stop & just have normal hands. When I bite now I just bite to make them look relatively even but they just end up worse. There's got to be some kind of remedy for all of this because not even the strongest will will stop me from this habit I so desperately despise.

It's very comforting to hear other people go through the same issue as me. I started out biting my fingernails only, and then it spree to the tips of my fingers and now all the way den to my first knuckle. I keep telling myself I need to stop but I never can. Whenever my hands get wet, it becomes very obvious I have been biting my fingers, making it embarrassing to get my nails done or go swimming with my friends. I've tried soaking my fingers in stuff but nothing seems to work and I can't even talk about this with my friends or family (I am currently 13). I know it's a gross habit and I really want to stop. If anyone knows of any solution, PLEASE HELP!!

My post from similar topic* "I've been biting my fingers for few years if not a decade. I have not touched my fingers now for 4 days you know how!?!?! On our local news station they talked about "Flesh Eating Bacteria" I started to do research on this topic and found out that if you have a small scrape or scar this bacteria can attack you and you either die or have your arms or legs amputated. I naturally freaked out and told my self that I can stop. And so I did.. If you want to stop biting your fingers etc read up on "Flesh Eating Bacteria" and I'm pretty sure this will make you stop. My 0.02 cents =)"

I have been eating at my cuticles for a while, not sure how long, but I'm 15 now and I have been trying to stop. If you want motivation to stop, I got a wart virus into the open sores on my fingers, and there were huge warts around my finger nails. It was horrible and they were impossible to get rid of. The only solution that worked was to get a shot in my fingers to kill the virus. It hurt so bad. My mom always yells at me and says "You're going to get warts again!" I just can't stop, I think no that won't happen again. I NEED to stop. Just last week a girl was like "What's wrong with your nails?" I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. My fingers look all gross when they get wet and its embarrassing. I don't want my fingers to be all red and inflammed forever! My goal is to stop this summer and I'm going to first try putting clear nail poish around my cuticles and putting vinegar on my fingers every morning. It's good to know there's others with the same problem, and good luck to everyone!
