Does anyone know, medically, how to stop from nail biting?

I use to bite my nails a lot so each day i started dipping my nails in nail polish removers so when i put my mouth on my nails it tasted horrible and soon i just stopped. I hope this helps!

make them taste like medicine xP> put butter on them :P>

There are a lot of over the counter solutions you can put on your nails to stop you from biting them (i.e. Thum, or even Bitter Apple spray for dogs) but this only stops you fro physically biting them. I do agree with Tori that you should figure out what causes your nail biting, but this would be cheaper than a therapist.

To add to this, there are psychologists available for free consultation at many hospitals.

stop using toilet paper, youll keep your fingers outta your mouth

I don’t think there’s any medication which helps you stop from nail biting.

There are remedies that can help without needing to go to the doctors. Nail biting is not a medical head problem that extreme to have to go see a shrink - it’s just a bad habit from nervousness.

There are bitter polishes made for nail biters. Some are ‘Bite It’, ‘Mavala’, ‘Control It’.. So many different treatment kits you can try. They put some stuff in their products to make them taste foul, so when you chew your nails, its a bitter taste to remind you to not bite. Usually available at local pharmacies or maybe even Walmart. Carry some with you at all times. Apply the solution several times a day.

Plus for me, best way to stop biting my nails was to start getting them done - acrylics at first then switched to only manicures. After a few months, I stopped wearing fake nails and I had somewhat broke out of the habit. Plus my nails had grown longer and made me cherish them more and easier not to bite them.
