Help to quit a bad habit.?!
Question: Help to quit a bad habit!.!?
I pick at the cuticles around me nails!. if it's the slightest bit dry or chapped, I feel the need to pick it, bite it and pull it off!. Sometimes I do it subconsciously!. I was able to stop by putting on acrylics every 2 weeks, but that was too expensive and my work now does not allow for that!. I was also able to stop for about a month by wearing a ponytail holder on my wrist and snapping it every time I felt the urge, but then I lost the ponytail holder and it started again right away!. I work in a healthcare settting and I know it's not safe for me to have open wounds on my fingers from picking at it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Keep cuticle nippers with you at all times!. That way when you feel you need to pick at a rough spot you can clip it and there won't be anything to pick!. Also, keep your cuticles moisturized to avoid cracking and dry skin!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
