I scratch at my head w/ my nails a lot...not heavily, but get some dead skin, etc....
I was curious and googled it, and found dermatillomania! Wikipedia says it's when people scratch at/pick skin, including little bumps on arms/legs, etc....Now, I thought everbody did this...
Am I wrong??

I pick and pull at my cuticles when anxious or bored. I don't think it's a big deal. As what about the nail biters? Love Phillipa

Thanks Phillipa....I think that maybe my finger picking may qualify...but it heals pretty quickly and my counselor knows about that...
Not many people post on this thread... :/

No it's unfortunate the board doesn't get much traffic and a lot of us have health problems. Love Phillipa
