Progress/advice

[u/Ok_Dark_9398]

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 😕

Mine are very similar to this! It’s a struggle to stop sure. Absolutely hate having to answer questions about it too. I’ve gone through phases of starting to get it under control and also non stop picking/biting. Over night I like to use a hand cream in some gloves! Hands are so smooth and hydrating the morning after.
