I am 17 and a senior in high school, and I have been picking since 4th grade. It started when I was playing in the sand at the playground and scratching the sand out of my hair. For some reason I found it to feel really good and kept scratching at my scalp. After that I kept doing it more frequently when I was bored or stressed. At first I was pretty discreet with it, but now I try to be discreet but I know it is very obvious. Also I am almost always doing it.

Then I picked my nose a bit, with the dried blood under my fingernail since I had a cold. I was wondering where I can get a PCR test to find out if I've become infected sooner instead of waiting.

If anyone could help me out, that would me much appreciated... Also, I don't have a regular doctor I can go to.

Could this be a type of fingernail material growing from the scalp? The physical consistency of this 'hair' strongly resembles that of a fingernail. Extensive searching the net has found nothing. Surely my daughter is not the only case like this. I read about keratin, but it seems the keratin in hair and nails is the same.
I was such a beautiful girl and due to my picking, I have become ugly. It is horrifying to look at myself as I change. My constant picking have created dark scars. Both my arms and both my legs are not visibly appealing. My skin easily gets cut from touching anything and then I end up picking at it until the scab gets bigger and bigger, and finally until it leaves a scar. My mom tells me to stop, and I want to but I can't. I'm afraid I will never meet anyone this way...

ve had this happen to me more than once) Any serious crunching to the nail on your finger will cause this to happen - the bruising underneath the nail is what causes it to fall off, and the bump in the middle of where the nail used to be is actually the new fingernail growing back.
