How do i stop ingestion my fingers?
Ok I don't actually eat my fingers but I kind of do, ever since I be little I would tear the skin off the tips of my fingers with my teeth my mom looked-for to take me to a head doctor cause it be so bad I'm 22 now so I have be doing this for years I don't know why I do it but I do, Its mainly just just the finger print cut of my fingers I do this on a daily basis till there is no more skin to transport off, when i was little my fingers would actually bleed and it would be raw, i would actually have to put band aids on when i be finished, through the years iv learned to just to bite off the top band so it's not like it hurts or bleeds anymore, but it's annoying I want to stop but I can't, small pieces of skin that I bite off I swallow I know that's gross,and big pieces I just spit out, but I don't similar to doing this and I really don't like people seeing me do this, does anybody know if this is like OCD or what how can I stop? I know tons of relations bite their finger nails but that's not my problem i never bite my finger nails, just the actual skin on my fingers.

It is a diffident habit that is like a child sucking his thumb, you own used this to displace your anxiety and probably boredom as well... find out what it is that is bugging you and learn to relax, it will probably stop. When you are home try putting corn huskers lotion on your hand to heal them and white cotton gloves...wear them when ever you are in a situation alone where you usually would bite. I have heard some people break their children of sucking their thumbs by fine art a nasty pepper liquid on the thumb and if you could do something like that the doomed to failure taste would remind you to stop chewing. You could also chew gum, to keep something in your mouth to chew on instead of your skin.
Honestly, go to a doctors, travel to 100 different doctors if you have to until they prescribe something that works for you, or send you off to a personage that can help you.
Perhaps you could eradicate two birds with one stone and wear a swine flu mask.
well i'm no expert but i suggest to put something like Vaseline on them (That tastes gross) , hopefully when you put your finger within your mouth you will pull away as a reaction to the taste.
Everyone seems to think that pill-popping is the just method to solving some sort of personal issue.
I used to have that problem, too. I've only learned to CONTROL it. It's a mental article for me. o.O
