Are you still around? This is a bit like my problem which originally brought me bacj the the forum again. I "pick" at my cuticles and the skin around the nails. Sometimes lips, but only whe they are especially cracked/dry and not as much. But yeah, this is whag leads to sometjmes accidentally harming myself, because the dry skin is so irritating, i want to cut it all off, but sometimes i nick a not dry part. Oh i hhate it but the irritation is unbearable! Chapstick helps my lips and lotion on hands BUT winter makes it extra dry and hard to keep hands moist because i use them so much and wash them a lot, washing off the lotion.

I'm irritated as i type this. Some slight hangnails. Grr!
