I have never had nails. I cant peel an orange or pick up a quarter, biting is something I've always done. Whenever I see white it just has to go! ill bite my toes even. Whenever I had a professional job interview or college interview, my dad would always tell me "Make sure you sit on your hands!" even as hard as I would try I would always somehow subconsciously find my hand in my mouth.
I have a nail biting problem.
My nails are chewed down past my fingertips. My ring fingernails are shortest, at about an eight of an inch long. The skin where my nails used to be is scarred and ugly. Despite the intense pain and bleeding, I can't stop biting my nails. When I can't get a grip on the nail with my teeth, I find myself picking at them with a knife, nail clippers, pencil, or whatever's on hand.
I've tried nail polish.
I'm a high school kid who has experienced depression and is currently experiencing anxiety. You see, I used to have long, strong, thick nails. I was quite proud of them (mainly because they were my main self harm tools). But, due to anxiety, I started biting my nails down. Now, they don'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.

Hello Doctor,
I have a question regarding what my STD risk is. I am a gay male, and practice safe sex, but my mind has been racing regarding this event. I gave a man, who was a stranger, a hand job. He did the same to me and he also performed fellatio on me briefly but I read that the risk through receiving fellatio is practically 0 for HIV and therefore I am not worried about that. He did not ***, but my hand came in contact with his pre-ejaculatory fluid.
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.

My 20 month old son is biting his nails and crunching his teeth even in his sleep.. I have noticed that during the weekend he sometimes stops biting his nails but starts again in the week, (he goes to daycare). I have asked his day care provider if there are any kids who bite their nails and she said none.
Interestingly, when I was pregnant I stopped biting my nails. However, when I was no longer pregnant I began again. The nails come in stronger during pregnancy and I think hormones are involved in this somehow. I also find that if I cut out caffiene the biting can lessen a lot.
Too bad I love coffee.
I find that if I get a ragged edge on my nail, I am completely unable to combat biting and of course that just makes it worse.
Ever since I was little I have been biting my nails. When I finally stopped doing that I began to pick at the skin around my fingers and bite the inside of my mouth. I cant seem to ever relax. When I try not to pick at my fingers I get a really anxious feeling as if Im about to jump out of my skin. Even just sitting in school or watching tv I am not able to sit still and relax. What is wrong with me? Why cant I relax?
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.
I believe rohilla is describing the pain, not saying his son was biting his nails. Rohilla- here's a copy of what I replied to your other post:
You may want to ask the doctor to do a nuclear medicine test to see how the heart functions under stress and and in a resting state, to see if there are areas of the heart that are not receiving the kind of oxygen it should. Did they do any cardiac enzyme blood testing to look for elevations?
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.
i I had gone to a massage parlour about 8 weeks back, i just fingered the lady i have a habit of biting my nails and also sometimes have cuts on my finger skin due to that, and she also gave me an oral with a condom on me,
i had fever after 3 days of the same, the fever went away in 2 days time but i read about the symptoms of HIV post exposure and have been worried since then, after around 4 weeks of exposure i noticed i had a swollen lymph in my neck just under the chin and also behind my jaw
Not sure why biting one's nails would "damage" them. It can annoy onlookers, but all you're doing is cutting your nails with your teeth instead of a tool. How wide the pink is I'm guessing is more dependent on who you are than anything else. Health and length of nails is dependent on your diet. I bit my nails for years as well, and when I stopped, they just grow now and I have to take the time to cut them. I preferred biting them, frankly.
You probably just did it to hard and was too rough

He is fine in other situations but for some reason he does not adapt to the grooming at all. I was wondering what some recommendations would be for this.

My son is 11 years, old and seems to have an issue with his hands and mouth. He has always put everything in his mouth to the point where teachers have mentioned it to me as a concern. I've struggled to stop him from biting is finger nails and toe nails, he eats his buggers and has an incredible appetite for unhealthy foods, i.e. anything with cheese, ice cream, fattening foods, candy. We are careful that we control his food intake so he's not unhealthy or overweight (about 85 lbs.
