Question about Habit

For years now, I've got in a bad habit of playing with my mustache and goatee. I don't pull out the hair or anything, I just use my fingers to feel the hair, but it's a constant thing, especially when I'm thinking or not doing anything. I'll make the hairs go in between my finger nails because of the feelings. It's very weird and annoying.

Would that be OCD or what?

I'm not sure, but maybe it could be a twitch...especially if you feel that you can't avoid it

I think it is just a habit. I'd do a mark on paper sort of thing every time you do it to learn to quit doing it. I had an itchy scaly thing above my eyebrow once and went to the dermatologist who did a lot of tests to make sure it wasn't something serious, I had been working as chairman of a book sale at the library so it was probably just an allergy to the plastic on some old hardback books, or paper dust or something. . . anyway, we got to the end and I asked for a cream or something to make it stop itching and he said, "no, you have to quit scratching". I lost that battle and it only cost me $100

Touching the face is a pretty common habit:
