Ideas to distract my hands!?!
Question: Ideas to distract my hands!?
This may seem a little odd, but it is a horrible habit and i need help. I have had eczema and extremely dry skin since birth. I use lotions and creams constantly and they work to an extent. They would completely clear it all up if it wasn't for my bad habit. I am a compulsive scratcher. I am constantly scratching and the majority of the time I don't even realize I'm doing it. I have had the habit since I was very young so my hands are just programmed to automatically scratch any time they aren't doing something else. I need to find ways to keep my hands busy at all times. Ideas????

Put loose bracelets on them, since tape won't stick, due to lotions.
