How can I stop biting/picking my fingers?

I seem to constantly be biting the skin around my fingernails, or picking at it, to the point of bleeding, and my fingertips always own open wounds on them. This is something that I've done for as long as I can remember (as well as biting my lips), and I give the impression of being to do it subconsciously - I only really realise I'm doing it when I start bleeding. I've never bitten my nails, just the skin around them, but they're constantly sore and getting infected and I really want to stop doing it...but I can't seem to break the habit.

Other than wearing gloves constantly which isn't a natural option, does anyone have any tips as to how I can stop doing this?

Purchase a live aloe vera plant, or you can by aloe vera juice/gel from your local plant nursery. It is an excellent automatic healing agent and completely dissolves into your skin, but it has an unspeakably bitter taste. If you rub some on your hands everyday and everytime you bath your hands, once you go to bite your cuticles the morsel will remind you to STOP IT! Good luck.

Headaches?

I do this too! It has gotten very discouraging in recent weeks. They are infected it seems and it's tricky to do things which require precise use of the fingers. It really hurts!

Oh my. I had alike problem too! My parents would dip my fingers in nail polish or vinigar. Whenever I go to bit my nails, it would taste HORRIBLE!!

Instead of biting your finger nails perhaps you could bite your toe nail.

Perhaps you could trim your toe nails and bite the clippings. If you carry the clippings around beside you then you can bite them whenever you feel close to it.
