➼ Do I have skin picking disorder?
What are body focused repetitive behaviors?
BFRB is a general term that refers to any repetitive self-grooming behavior (pulling, picking, biting or scraping of the hair, skin or nails) that results in damage to the body.
This disorder is actually very common and many do not know how to stop these behaviors. I take you through what you need to know to stop these behaviors and go through a demonstration of what a BFRB is.
Some examples are:
Trichotillomania (hair pulling)
Excoriation Disorder (skin picking) - Dermatillomania
Onychophagia (nail biting)
Rubbing
Biting
etc.
One of the best treatments for this is called the comprehensive treatment model for BFRBs (ComB).

Lip biting, nail (and skin around nails) bitting has always been HUGE BFRB’s for me. Which happens when I’m anxious but makes my anxiety even worse because of how my lips and nails look afterwards. Such a viscous cycle. So glad to have come across this video. Had no idea this was a thing others are going through as well.

@evonchristie2549 3 года назад

I appreciate this info. I’ve struggled with this for as long as I can remember, maybe since before or around kindergarten. I bite my cuticles. And a couple of places on my hand. (I’m extremely embarrassed by it.) No particular timing, I’ll do it throughout the day. I do notice that if I feel a rough spot on my hand, I bite it. The only thing that helps is daily exfoliating, giving myself manicures (trimming cuticles and moisturizing) and bandaids. The problem is, the texture of regular bandaids trigger me because it’s not smooth. I found that the silicon ones for blisters do the trick. The only problem is they are expensive, and if I dont wear them continually, I soon go back to the habit. I feel that the root to this problem is perfectionism. I attribute the rough feeling that triggers me as an imperfection, and biting it is my drive to correct it. Don’t get me wrong, my life is not in perfect order. This is probably another trigger. It’s taken many years to get to some understanding of what and why this is going on. Hope my journey helps

@TimTamRipple 2 года назад

Yes i can relate to the perfectionist thing- thats why i cant stop untill i have bitten every nail, it all looks the same , its all hurting the same etc. i tear off the cuticle s and skin around the nail . It had to look a certain way b4 im satisfied. I think its also OCD as well. I really cant stop ✋ doing this and other behaviour s. I think i need help badly.

I started biting and picking my cuticles, nails, and inside of my cheeks when I was 8 years old. It’s been over 15 years and I still do it. I have an anxiety disorder and depression. Getting dip manicures, using a fidget toy, and having a job where I have to wear a lot of gloves to lower the opportunities to engage in those harmful behaviors helps. Also treating my underlying disorders with medication and therapy. For anyone out there who this sounds familiar with, there’s hope to manage this!

@scubatuba1083 2 года назад

@ggrother539 Год назад

Gargle with water and sea salt, pulling cheeks to reach more area. I just pop some salt in, then take a good sip, etc. Avoid scalding your mouth , let food and drinks cool off. Do warm sea salt baths, manicure and pedicure by scaling entirety of hands and feet with a nail clipper, cuticles treated the same, more info in my other comments. You will be better, for sure.

@sandywich. 2 года назад

I did suffer from trichotillomania for about most of my life and yes i am 12 but anyways I didn’t know what it was and thought it was normal so i keep doing it. I told only my brother and friends but not my parent especially my mom. One day at breakfast she saw a a bald spot at the top of my head because thats where i pull only where the middle back part is because i felt a sensation at. My mom of course got mad but i mean she is the reason why i stopped. Not because she was there for me and support me but because i was scared and traumatized. 🙁

@ggrother539 Год назад

Do: Warm not overly hot Sea salt bath, meticulous fine combing of the scalp, remove all plaque, scrub everywhere, stretching all skin to get in the 'cracks'. This works. Avoid extreme heat and cold, medication, alcohol, stay calm.

@17HannaMae 3 года назад

I pick my scalp and crack my left ankle. I think it's a combination of anxiety and just feeling satisfied when doing it. But I wouldn't say I'm an anxious person. I'm 22 and this definitely started in middle school but got much worse in high school and now it's just not gotten any better. If I really think about it I can control the urges. Sometimes I just don't care though because its so satisfying for me to do it. I sometimes chew my cheeks too but that is always unintentional. Some days after work I'll notice my cheeks are chewed and sore and I have no memory of doing it. That doesn't happen very often. My scalp picking and ankle cracking are all day long.

I used to severly bite my nails to the point my fingers now look like stubs 😅 Since I've changed up a few things in my life like, finding a more fulfilling job and cutting out "toxic" people from my life. I've found that with a little conscious effort and a lot of self manicures (mainly filing them to keep them smoove) I've been bite free for 4 weeks now. 😁 I still have to make an effort to avoid biting and actually had a weird dream where I bit them and felt very guilty. I had to check when I woke up 🤣 glad it wasn't true. I'm not going to give everybody advice on how to stop, (Its not my place). But I hope my story can help somebody. Its definitely increased my confidence, even though my fingers are still stubby. 🤦‍♂️😅 Good luck to anybody looking improve themselves, even if its in trivial seeming ways. 😁

I want to share my BFRBs here bc I never see them mentioned and maybe someone will feel less lonely. I rub my skin or scratch my scalp until dirt comes out. I also can’t stop smelling my fingers after that or rubbing the dirt with my fingers. I had a bad time with the scalp scratching, I lost some hair and had some scars and it added more stress that resulted in me scratching even more. I bought some finger latex protectors (sold as for avoiding touching viruses and bacteria) and it really helped with the scars and with the hair loss. I still do my BFRBs but I try to be aware as not to damage my skin. I want to understand more about BFRBs but I guess they are different for everyone.

I talked to a couple friends of mine about if I should possibly try to set up a test for myself, because I would rather know so that I can try to set up a plan to better interact with and manage my conditions, but they each blew off my concerns Am I just being crazy and over categorizing my stimming, or would it actually be worth it to look into.

Hi, this may sound weird, but what if I don't want to stop my behavior? I've had pretty bad skin biting as long as I can remember, where my mom always used to yell at me to stop and try to make me soak my fingers in lemon juice etc, and I have scar tissue around my thumbs because I'm just always biting them. However, it really doesn't bother me, I've learned not to do it when people are watching, and if it does get to be painful I will wear bandaids for a few days. I also do a lot of nose picking and I know I should probably stop that one for health reasons buut. I'm just curious your thoughts. Is there a reason why I should try to stop? I also believe I have just right OCD but it isn't too severe. Thank you for your videos they are very helpful and informative :)

I'm 37 years old and I have this since I'm a kid. I used to bite the nails on all of my 10 fingers. I keep biting them eventhough they are already really really short and sometimes bleed. It made me so insecure, I'm ashamed of how my nails looked. Trying to stop but never really can. It just happen unconciously. Now to save the other fingernails I choose 3 fingernails that I bite and leave the rest of the fingernails alone. It helped the appearance of my nails a lil bit but they still look ugly. Last year I started picking my scalp at the same spot repetitively until it bled, I guess because of boredom since I'm working at home most of the time due to the pandemic. Then during June this year (2021) I developed dishydrotic eczema on my hand and I would pick the scab over and over again while it's healing until it bleeds again. My hand looks horrible with the nail biting and scab picking and my scalp is damn hurt and it's affecting my life.

ive bitten my nails and the skin around it since i was as little as i can remember. and a year or two ago (or three?) i started biting my cheeks, lips, and tongue (tastebuds). i bite my cheeks and tongue to taste the blood and i bite and scratch my lips to feel it sting and burn. idk what to do

I did tongue/cheek biting and face picking growing up. I would start biting the little bumps on my tongue and keep biting until it was very sore and bleeding. I would pick my face also.

Lip picking is serious problem for me. Mainly when I’m anxious, under pressure or lost in thought. It’s become a kind of compulsive calming effect that also stems from wanting them to be as smooth as possible. But because I pick at the healing skin, it never heals😭. I need to divert this urge somewhere epse

Me too, if it’s not that it’s obsessively licking or biting my lips or the insides of my cheeks. Now I’ve been grinding and clenching my teeth, my mouth is in so much pain

What about body dysmorphia?Is it a bfrb or an ocd related issue?Can you do a video on it if you haven't already?

I bite my lip A LOT lol, as well picking and biting the skin around my nails, I pull my hair out and it’s always subconsciously. I noticed that when I’m doing these things I’m usually very tense, I’m breathing fast and heavily so I’m not sure if it’s linked to anxiety.

How quickly can a person whose been biting since toddler (now in early 30s) stop biting and picking?

Pimple popping, hair pulling, I used to do it. Until now I bite my nail and picking my lips. Is it a habbit?

@haleyboren6128 3 года назад

Im looking to stop biting the inside of my lip. My BF punishes me when I draw blood but it's not helping. What else can I do?

@laurynwatts8009 2 года назад

I have a cycle of biting my nails and not skin picking as much to trying to break the nail biting habit, growing them and skin picking badly. I want to not do either but really it’s one bfrb or another. I’m not really breaking habits I’m trading them

I’m struggling with cheek biting and finger picking, does anyone have any tips?

@kathyd9883 3 года назад

I bite my nails, I pick skin, I twirl and pick my eye brow hair. My mom she yells at me to stop and I can’t control it. Sometimes I even get random anger stages that last 1 minute or so and I just hit things next to me. I also have time when I shake my head and bit my lip randomly like tics.In school I shake my leg and swing back and fourth. I get in trouble for it and I can’t control it. I just feel different from others. I also pick my pimples and I just end up making them bleed or I get the white thing off of them. I don’t know how to tell my mom I think I have it

@alexamtz4316 3 года назад

I was wondering if what I do counts and if someone dose the same thing , what I do is that when I have long nails I drag my nail from the outside of my eyebrow to the end of the eyebrow , so because hair gets in the middle of my nail and finger then I just move my nail downwards , when I do that I hear a crunch from my hair .I do it and it fells satisfying but I have a limit because if I do it to much then some eyebrow hair will fall out , so I just try to maintain my nails really short .

@skylarmalone8380 4 года назад

Would you consider hair rubbing, nail picking, lip picking, eye lash pulling part of this?

@ocdandanxiety 4 года назад

Yes! For sure. I have a treatment video on this as well if you haven't seen it yet! 😃

I pick my skin so much I’ve got scars and had infections 3 times. I feel like an “itchiness” if I don’t and it’s anxiety inducing.

@lunadumbledore2883 2 года назад

I fell addicted... I have to do things to keep my mouth occupied at all times when I am not talking or eating...i bite my fingernails sometimes until bleeding or painful, I bite the inside of my chicks and lips , I rub specific soft fabrics on my lip and I always put a kind of pressure on my teeth with my lips and tongue (I can't really explain how) my jaw is always so tense that it gives me headaches and even then I cant stop... it's an unstoppable urge to do this things at all times and it gives me so much comfort and satisfaction. But it messed up with my teeth and jaw sape and nail biting always gives me small painful infections inside my mouth ... not to mention making weird faces in public hoping people won't notice.

I bite my nails so much.

@mikazukigaw-id5688 3 года назад

I tried to see the signs of when my nail biting strikes. Its like i need to make my nails long first, and then i became conscious about whenever we were about to pray in the altar, my right knee would also jolt up and down as if impatient. Dunno how to stop this, i don't remember when it started

@DAMB-DaveAmelieMarkBeryle Год назад

I have been picking my skin around my nails and biting them since primary school now and I didn’t think anything of it but now that I am in high school, I am starting to wonder if I should try to do something about it .
