Avatar f tn You yourself can clip her nails or you can bite them off. It's easiest to do when she is sleeping or feeding.
Avatar f tn s a strengthing clear nail polish that helps nails not break. I Used it when I had gels forever and my nails were so thin and breaking off and it helped lots!
Avatar f tn I do the same thing mon. I don't ever bite my nails, but I bite the cuticles. I have tried to stop a countless number of times. I came to the conclusion after analyzing what reward the habit gave me (since our brain probably does things to its benefits) that its a security habit. The pain given keeps my mind occupied, and provides comfort (much like kids who carry around a blanket with them all the time). The only real way to stop is to be conscious of what you're doing.
1886497 tn?1327714543 ll just chew my fingers instead-terribly attractive! i think some cats just bite their nails as maintenance-Bob only does the back ones. my cats are 100% indoor and we don't clip their nails-is Oreo (great name!!) in indoor cat as well and does he only bite the back ones? Do you clip them for him? I'm not a pro, probably Jade or Opus can address the stress issue better than I-I don't want to give you wrong info and can only go by personal experience. Good luck to you and Oreo!
Avatar f tn i used to bite my nails i still do.... then i got gel and acrylic nails. and they help when i first got them on i would bite them off. but then i loved how they sounded when i clicked them on a surface. now a few months later maybe a year later i just recently got my nails done again and this is the first set that i have left on for more than a week.
Avatar f tn I'm a 14 yr old girl with a great life most of the time, not much drama and i do well at school with stress only during the really big tests so i dont understand why i bite my nails and do so till they bleed. I've bitten my nails since i was little and recently I have been trying everything i can think of to stop. The one main thing I've figured out is this addiction to biting my nails overcomes my willpower.
Avatar n tn I use to bite my nails untill I started to get what I guess was puss pocket under my nails and I stopped biting my nails but contineud to bite around my finger nails. Just one side of my thumb is now swollen, warm to the touche, and hurts to even move it. My arm and my hand is starting to hurt as well. What is the problem?
Avatar f tn I have bitten my nails for almost 25 years, since I was 6. I recently got myself to stop and it's been a good 2 months now since I've bitten them at all and I can honestly say I can't remember the last time I've had the urge to bite them. I probably had a moderate problem (bit my nails where they were always halfway down the nail bed but def more than a sliver of nail left). All I did was paint my nails with a nail strengthening clear coat EVERYDAY.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your reply! I'm sure he's not biting - I've never seen him bite his nails (he's 8.5 yrs. old), his nails are even and have no bite/tear ridges, and his toes don't grow either, and he's not flexible enough to get to all his toes. I've asked him if he bites or picks at them and he says no. So def. no biting, they simply don't grow. It's weird.
Avatar f tn t even grow past the tip of my finger. I always keep them super short. I also bite off the skin around my nails, and try to tear away my cuticles. As you can probably imagine, this does lead to bloody messes on my fingertips. In school, while I'm doing work, I'll bite my nails while I'm writing/reading. Also, I'll start biting my nails during conversations with other people. The point is, whenever I'm in the process of biting my nails/skin, it seems like I can't stop.
Avatar f tn I impulsively bite my nails. Once i start, i cannot stop. If i have nailpolish on, i still bite them.... I also pick at my cuticles. This is bad. I usually pick both untill the bleed, or untill it hurts me to touch the tips of my fingers. I want pretty nails, and need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
564710 tn?1217719711 Okay, so I wasn't sure where to post this so.. And I saw one past that was here and I figured this wasas good a place as any. So, I'm 14 years old and my parents yell at me any time I start biting my nails. I've been biting them all my life. But when I bring up the fact that they can buy me things on the market to help control my bad habit, they refuse and say I need to use my will power. Only problem is I'm not a very willful girl.

1523184 tn?1291940756 My cat Ozzy has deadly nails. He likes to play catch the hand and he's nailed (pun intended) me really good a couple of times. I've tried to cut his nails but he freaks out and tries to bite. I have not had this problem with any of my other cats. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can secure him to trim his nails? I can't afford a groomer so it has to be me doing the cutting. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I remember being in kindergarten and learning about how it was unsanitary to bite your nails and feeling ashamed. I also remember my mom putting bitter nail polish on my nails to try to keep me from biting them because I was biting them every day. I was doing it at the earliest point I can remember.
Avatar f tn anxiety and stress i bite my nails when my anxiety creeps in my sister used to pull out eyebrow hair and eye lashes i think the only way to fix it is to try curve the behavior and busy your self with somwthing else
Avatar n tn I love the way they look, but as my own nails grow, I bite them from the under side. I also pick off the fake nails when then become loose and then I bite off whatever has grown beneath. I am 54.
Avatar n tn I looked down and I had a red spot on a fiber of the glove. I bite my nails and my cuticles until they bleed sometimes, when this red spot was noticed my fingers were not awful and not bleeding whatsoever. The doctor said it was okay and the HIV/AIDS hotline said it was not a risk. I'm so afraid that when I took the glove off that my finger with a bite mark on it could have gotten blood or whatever it was in it.
Avatar m tn I was dragged out to the mall by my family to this make-up shop. I saw this glittery foundation make-up and I wanted to see how it matched, so I rubbed my finger on it and tried to wipe it off, but it wouldn't come off. Then, about like 5 minutes later, I started biting my nails (it's a habit of mine), not remembering/realising that I still had the foundation make-up on my finger. Now I'm scared and afraid that I might have been exposed, or even worse, contracted herpes. Help!
