Would you consider this ocd?
im 15 yrs old and ive been picking my lip since i can remember. even if its not chapped ill sit here and pick at my bottom lip till it bleeds. its getting annoying. i also chew on the inside of my left cheek, not like deep basically a nibble i guess. ive always thought of this as OCD because ive tried many lip balm,home remedies and chaped lips arent my problem. i just keep picking. should i natter to my doc about it?
thanks so much!
Answers:
It's just caring of a nervous tick. I do the same thing in the region of the insides of my cheeks, and I will bite my lips if they're chapped too. I don't think it's an OCD, it's just something you do that you probably shouldn't be doing, close to biting your fingernails.
it depends is it just a habit that you have or do you own to do it constantly. If you keep having to do it and you can't stop because it bothers you then it is OCD.
