Description

This is a common habit, affecting as many as 50% of children between the ages of 10 and 18 years of age. Most people, however, stop biting their nails on their own by around the age 30. Chronic and serious nail biting can lead to scarring and infections. It can also create feelings of shame. For example, a nail biter might become too embarrassed to shake hands. If their condition is severe, they may wear gloves to hide the self-inflicted damage.
