As nail professionals, one of the most common types of “problem nails” we encounter is the bitten ones. Nail biting and skin biting typically begin in childhood and usually accelerate during adolescence. They then become a habit that can be difficult to manage. But why does someone develop this habit, to begin with? How harmful is it? And how can we help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entendendo o h\u00e1bito de roer as unhas: From Childhood Habit to Lifelong Challenge (Do h\u00e1bito infantil ao desafio para toda a vida)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Embora muitas pessoas consigam superar o h\u00e1bito de roer as unhas (inclusive eu!), para outras isso se torna um h\u00e1bito para toda a vida. Geralmente, come\u00e7a como um h\u00e1bito nervoso, possivelmente um esfor\u00e7o para encontrar al\u00edvio tempor\u00e1rio para o estresse e a ansiedade. Roer as unhas pode se tornar um h\u00e1bito que ocorre quando algu\u00e9m se sente nervoso, impaciente, frustrado ou entediado. Tamb\u00e9m pode ser uma atividade distra\u00edda quando se est\u00e1 concentrado em outra coisa, como resolver um problema. \u00c0s vezes, embora n\u00e3o com muita frequ\u00eancia, roer as unhas pode ser um sintoma de problemas de sa\u00fade mental, como TOC, TDAH, TDM etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very common progression from nail biting (also called onychophagia) is skin picking and skin biting (periononychophagia). These can severely and drastically change the look of someone’s nails and fingers, and lead to viral infections such as paron\u00edquia<\/a> since the skin is broken. In some cases, the nails and fingers can become severely deformed after years of nail and skin biting. Also, if there is a mental health condition behind this habit, it can evolve to dermatophagia, which is a compulsion disorder of gnawing or biting someone’s skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
