Hello, I am a 26-year-old woman. I have been married for 2 years and my husband and I have a 3-year-old daughter. My life is good, I'm not complaining. However, I have an annoying habit that I can't give up. Sometimes I pick my toes, more precisely the puppy under the nail, where the skin is rougher and sometimes a small callus comes out. There I pick up this hard skin imperceptibly and it becomes even harder and unpleasant and I can't soften this place. It is less common for me to pick my big toe when a harder layer of skin forms. The bad thing is that I do it imperceptibly and it has been my habit for 2-3 years. For example, while watching TV I take off my socks and pick myself for 10-15 minutes or while reading a newspaper or when I tell something to my daughter. There is no pain and no blood there, just ugly hard skin, but I can't stop.

The article is old. For the first time to see a person with such a problem! Maybe it's from a strong negative emotion you've experienced before! But it's in my hands! Every day at some point in the day I whiten my fingers haha. A doctor in the bus told me that it was a kind of neurosis and weaning is difficult and slower! I try to get rid of the habit by gradually stopping but not suddenly, because in a few days you will be healthy again!
