What to do if my nail biting is a serious problem, what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get help: If your nail biting is such a problem that you're always biting your nails or frequently causing your cuticles to bleed, you may not be able to stop biting your nails on your own. If this is the case, it may be time to see a psychologist or psychiatrist to see if your problem is a symptom of a bigger issue like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
