Over the past eight months though it has gotten really bad. People at work have started telling me to stop it and notice me doing it all of the time. I pick and bite at the skin around my fingernails and do this until they bleed. I have realized that it was a problem for a long time now but I seem to gain pleasure out of it for some reason so I just keep on doing it. Over the past three to four months, my fingernails have become increasingly more deformed. They have large bumps on them and are growing really weird. I read some information on the internet and thought my nails were clubbing which is a sign of underlying serious diseases. This alarmed me so I made an appointment with a dermatologist to have my nails looked at. My dermatologist told me that the deformities in my finger nails were a result of picking at the nail beds causing them to become inflamed. He said that this has caused my fingernails to be deformed. I would never have guessed this. Anyway, he gave me a shot (a steroid I think) and some gel to rub on my nail beds. He said that this should clear up the problem eventually. He also told me that I would have to stop the picking and biting or they would never get better. This sounded a lot easier than it actually was. I am addicted to the picking and biting. Anyway, for the last three days, I have been able to avoid picking and biting at my nail beds and around my fingernails. This has not been easy but I have managed to do it. What I have found that works best for me is to message my fingers when I get the urge to pick or bite. I have been doing this for three days now and it has worked really well. I just wanted to post this in hopes that it may help someone else like me who has this chronic problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622554936066204433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373228400633152594.post-6155116046587571072012-07-16T23:30:10.112-07:002012-07-16T23:30:10.112-07:00I have started a blog and I hope to meet other pic...I have started a blog and I hope to meet other pickers there.
