Why did I get in this thread ๐จ
Aahhh, plucking my fingers. It's so ingrained in my head that there is some special separate process (that I don't control) in my brain taking care of this.
My wife will slap my hands when I do it because I asked her to help me stop it but even when in my head I'm like "stop. It. Now." then one hand just moves to the other and starts plucking and I'm like "wtf, I said stop!"
The one thing that I've noticed that helps is prayer beads. I'm atheist, but they work wonders to occupy that little process in my head, I redirect all it's attention to those beads and so with one hand I'm moving the beads one click forward every half second or so all day long. That works!
Cover each of the tips of your fingers with a bandaid. It will stop you from biting them. Replace as needed. If you remove the bandaid so you can bite them, you have a psychological issue you need to address, usually stress related.

Dermatophagia is a bitch.
Get some of that nail polish that prevents you from biting your nails and tastes really sour and put it on your skin instead of your nails. It won't stop you from biting necessarily but it will stop you from unconsciously biting.

The story of my life...
I can't believe nobody has suggested vitamin D deficiency. One person suggested vitamin deficiency and sure it may be more than just vitamin D, but vitamin D deficiency can make your skin dry. Specially the genitalia areas. Also you might have issues sleeping, bone density, teeth decay, ridges on your nails etc.
Isn't that just people biting their fingers?
I did, till I started using soaps without SLS compounds.
It's a shame that every sink in every public toilets, workplace toilets or other people's house still has soap with Sodium Laureth Sulphate in. Even the products that say "gentle on skin" tend to be full of the stuff.
I tried various moisturisers for years with not a lot of effect. Swapping my soap, shower gel and shampoo for ones without SLS in them really made such a difference, and so quickly.
No! Never! What the hell causes that? Is it a dry skin thing? Looks painful and disturbing.
Compulsive skin picking. I wish I could stop, but I can't.
For me it is biting and chewing the skin around.
When it bleeds I also drink the blood.
Yes, I'm a vampiric who selfcanibalizes myself.
One day I will evolve to Ouroboros
The clean hands club!!
Your hands are dry. Use moisturizer. Or lather your hands in Vaseline before bed and sleep with cotton gloves. You will have a new set of hands in the morning.
You need something with hydrocortisone to soothe. Not just a lotion
I'm inthi picture and it hurt to see
Hello Anxiety, my old friend...
No.
Moisturize with lotion, especially if you wash them very frequently or have other underlying skin conditions such as pet allergies.
