Is it normal to bite the skin around my nails?

I have a bad habit of bitting the skin around my nails and cuticles? I can't help it, I even do it after I get a manicure.

    i do it all the time but never bite the nail, it kind of gross and addicting but its just become a habit. i guess its normal but not good.

    Put nail polish remover on your fingers. You won't put your mouth on them again. That's how you stop , train yourself

    It's totally normal. I do it, too. But after a manicure I try not to! But if I'm bored I do anyway. Haha.

  • It's such a habit. I do it when I don't even notice it! I've tried eveything buy it doesn't seem to help.

  • Ah! I completely forgot I used to do that! Thank god braces kicked the habit. Try chewing gum and even a pen cap

    I haven't used finger nail clippers in prob 10 years...I simply just bite my skin and nails to perfection....it is an awful habit though.

  • It's normal habit for a lot of people but I wouldn't reccommend keeping up with it. It's not good for your fingers.
