Girlfriend is always picking at skin and biting her lip!


Question: Girlfriend is always picking at skin and biting her lip
She used to bite her nails all the time but has since then quit!. She bites her bottom lip all the time and it gets bloody sometimes, and she wonders why I wont kiss her sometimes!. She also picks at any little scratch or scab on her skin to the point it takes 3 month's for a little scratch to heal!. Right now it is the worst it has ever been because she got a few mosquito bites on her legs and arms!. She started to scratch them and I told her to put some cortisone on them to make them stop itching, and to wear some long sleeves and long socks to keep her from scratching them!. However that has not stopped her!.!.!.she has scratched them so much that they are all scabbed over and she just keeps scratching them!.
I told her the other day she just needs to try harder not to scratch them, and she said she has been trying!.!.!.

The point is it's hard to be physical with her because she keeps scabbing up her lips and skin!.!.!.what can I do!.!.!.!.she stopped biting her nails, why can't she stop scratching her skin off!.!.!.it's really just a form of mutilation/ self harm!.!.!.it's not like she has the money to go see a phsychiatrist!.!.!.everytime I see her doing it I tell her to stop, because it starts bleeding!.!.!.I just don't know what to do!.!.!.
If she doesn't stop I will have to consider leaving her!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For the itching, I have eczema, and instead of applying cortizone, they gave me oral tablets to take called hydroxyzine, specifically for itching!.
It worked great!! I didn't each after that!. As for bitting the lip, I have a tendency to do that was well when I get nervous, just a good sit, talk, cry, flowers, chick-flick, chocolate will do!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is there a question here!? It sounds like she is under a lot of stress!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
