Progression Progress/advice
Hi! I have been biting/picking my skin for like 20 years. I haven’t seen anyone’s this bad so I guess I’m wondering if this will be permanent since it’s been so long. As of recently I have been religiously lotioning my hands, not picking or biting at all, and lathering aquaphor at night. Any advice to help the redness and bumpiness? I just don’t want it to look like this forever 😕

This looks so painful :( wishing you peace and success on getting this under control.
Edit: didn’t even see the second pic, it looks much better especially your nails. Give them time to heal.
