I'm doing 1 thing
I’ve been biting and picking at my lips with my fingers for the past while, it’s something I used to do from time to time but now I find myself doing it nonstop! My lips are rough and torn up at the best of times, and I want my lips to be smooth again plus stop this nervous habit..
I am trying to stop but I know it’s gonna be hard, I always rub my upper and lower lips together and feel the roughness and I have a seemingly unstoppable desire to pick/bite the dry parts off, these “lip hangnails” and make my lip uniform again. Of course, the more I do this, the more I keep doing it so it’s a vicious cycle!
I’m gonna try lip balm to see if that help, moreover just stop myself physically doing it altogether, try to relax my jaw when I feel the tendency and keep my hands away from my mouth. I might try some gum too to help ease the desire to devastate my lips!
What I’m wondering is, will my lips heal to smoothness by themselves if I don’t bite? I keep feeling like I need to take away the roughness to heal my lips but that surely can’t be the way, or they’d be normal right?
