Nail biting is a habit that many people like to kick because it's annoying and because of its physical effects. But did you know there are actually medical effects as well? In this episode of DermTV, Dr. Schultz discusses the medical effects of nail biting.

Everyone can have beautiful, healthy, and younger looking skin, and DermTV, the Internet's daily skincare video show, will demonstrate how by revealing expert tips and techniques and by providing real solutions for real skincare issues.

Skincare (whether cosmetic or medical) previously required a trip to your dermatologist or a shopping spree at the pharmacy. And that's if you have a trusted nearby dermatologist or a local informed pharmacy. But not anymore. We at DermTV are committed to making best-in-class dermatology and skincare guidance accessible to everyone, anytime, at your computer.

Every weekday, our host, Dr. Neal Schultz, one of New York's most trusted and respected dermatologists (see bio below), teaches skincare's most timely and timeless issues. Topics include: the best at home techniques and new technology for facial rejuvenation, preventing and fixing sun damage from wrinkles to skin cancer, breaking news in dermatology, general skincare topics, and more.

***GREAT TIP RIGHT HERE!!!*** :one thing that helped me and is only like 99 cents!!!! GUM!! the reason why i would bite my nails was because i got bored and i needed to occupy my self by doing something, which made me bite my nails!! GUM really helps! give this comment thumbs up so others can see it. GUM is so simply and it comes in a lot of flavors so you can pick the one you like! TRY IT!! IT REALLY WORKS!! BY CHEWING GUM YOUR HABIT GOES AWAY!!! IT ONLY TAKES A WEEK FOR YOU TO COMPLETELY STOP!

if you live in a place that has frogs just pick em up and look them straight in the eyes. they'll pee in your hand and later on when you forget u played with frogs you bite your nails and taste the pee. it's awful. i learned this when i was a little boy. but i never had problems biting nails in the first place.

Completely off-topic but, am I the only one who noticed the glass jar(?) on the top left that seems to be filled with Hershey Kisses?

Okay, that said, I do bite my nails. I don't like, chew them off, I just sort of nibble on them until the whites look transluscent... Is that weird?
