Tips to stop nailbiting?!


Question: Tips to stop nailbiting!?
I know it's sad but I'm 21 and have a bad nail biting problem!. Habit was never broken when I was younger and now I bite my nails daily!. On rare occasion I was able to grow them a little but bit them after the event!.
Nail polish doesn't work
Ear wax doesn't work
Fake nails don't work
and the 'doctor' I went to said there's nothing to do for nail biting!.
I believe half of my problem to be nervous habit and the other half just to keep biting since I've done it for so long!. Any bit of help is greatly appreciated!.
Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I use to bite my nails like you, occasionally I was able to stop and let them grow but would always start biting them again!. I was tested for thyroid problems and put on medication!. After about a month on the medication I stopped biting my nails and have not had the urge since!. While I was biting them they were soft (I could bend the ends and not have them split) and occasionally I could peel them back in layers!.

So if you notice any other problems with your nails consider being checked!. Other people I know have had similar problems including nail biting and were found to have thyroid problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I bit my nails my Mother many years ago went to the pharmacy and purchased this bitter polish!. She would polish that on my nails and the back of my fingers everyday!.
I stopped because when you would put your finger in your mouth is was so bitter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try rubbing cod liver oil on your nails this will definitely work!. It tastes so foul that you will be well on your way to stopping this nasty habit!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try putting some cayenne pepper underneath them!. That helped my sister stop biting her nails!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
