made my fingers gross...the bad tasting solutions don't work...I need to do something ASAP. sometimes i bite them until it starts bleeding. I NEED TO STOP. HELPPPPPPPPP PLEASEEEEEEE.


Answers:

You know, I used to do this too. Without the biting part. What I used to do was to pick at my fingers. Everytime I would get a hang nail I would tear it, and my fingers were a total mess!
For me it was a simple as wearing nail polish. I realized my fingers were too pretty and it would mess up my nail polish.
You could try that or try wrapping a bandaid or some other cloth around your fingers..
I would suggest that it is OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.. by the way you say you have tried just about everything and can't seem to stop.. I have that same problem. For some reason I don't do my fingers anymore, but if I get a small mosiquito bite on my arm... I pick and pick and pick...and my arms are a total mess!
I've done it with every single blemish or scar I've EVER had...
And there are many meds for OCD. You just have to have patience with your Dr while you are trying ea and every one.
