Dermatophagia is a habit where a person repeatedly bites, chews, or picks at their own skin, often around the fingers, nails, or lips. It usually happens without thinking and can be linked to stress, anxiety, boredom, or tension. Over time, it can leave the skin sore, raw, or even infected.

Common symptoms, including tension before biting, scarring and compulsive skin biting, may be associated with dermatophagia. Timely medical evaluation can help identify the condition and guide appropriate treatment, particularly when symptoms persist or worsen.
