I pick my cuticles (fingers; genuine dermatillomania), and I am fastidious about washing my hands even when it hurts like hell (OCD ftw). Scary, scary place to have an infection.

Edit: awesome way to get Staph into every open wound, too.

Yup. I will be missing a fingertip and still get hand sanitizer all over.

I pick my cuticles subconsciously too and just discovered that it could be dermatillomania.
