There is a name for it. It is not a bad habit.

Hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, and cheek biting are body-focused repetitive behaviors, or BFRBs. The International OCD Foundation notes they usually start in childhood or adolescence.

Stress is often part of it, but not all of it. For many people, the behavior helps them relax or settle. That is part of why “just stop” misses the point.

Habit reversal training (HRT) and comprehensive behavioral treatment (ComB) are two approaches used for BFRBs. Neither is the ERP (exposure and response prevention) used for OCD. The TLC Foundation for BFRBs notes that “no one treatment has been found to be effective for everyone.”

One thing to try: look up bfrb.org together.

General information, not clinical advice. In crisis, call or text 988.
