Hello newtobipolar: The Skeezyks probably doesn't have much of anything useful to offer.
 Growing up I bit my nails. As I reached young adulthood & wanted to quit, what I did was to keep my nails trimmed very short (so there was nothing to bite.) And I carried a fingernail clipper in my pocket. Anytime I detected any roughness in one of my nails, the cuticle, etc. I immediately grabbed the fingernail clipper is trimmed it. For me, this worked.

I agree with Skeez, you can buy a nifty little device called a cuticle trimmer, you can safely nip those ragged edges away with.
You could also try moisturising the cuticle area (you can get special oils and gels for this) which will help the skin repair. Perhaps the anti-nail biting solution which you paint on may also help? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
