Stress/ skin issue
I have this habit of biting on the skin near the edge of my nails and tearing of the skin(fingers and toes). I did google the symptom to understand it was called Dermatophagia. I did tell my parents that it interferes my routine but they pretend to understand that the problem recently started which it did not. I have dealt with stress in many other ways as well. But the skin biting is an issue that I have recently started to worry about. Should I be worried? I don't understand which doctor to visit/chat with, should i visit/chat with a doctor to treat my skin or this habit?
