Onychotillomania is a compulsive behavior in which a person picks constantly at the nails or tries to tear them off.[1] onychophagia , where the nails are bitten or chewed, or dermatillomania , where skin is bitten or scratched. Onychotillomania can be categorized as a body-focused repetitive behavior in the DSM-5 and is a form of skin picking , also known as excorciation disorder .
It can be associated with psychiatric disorders such as depressive neurosis, delusions of infestation[2] hypochondriasis .[3]
It was named by Jan Alkiewicz, a Polish dermatologist.[4]
The constant destruction of the nail bed leads to onychodystrophy , paronychia [5] [6]
Some cases have been treated successfully with antipsychotics .[7]
One cheap solution suggested by researchers is to cover the proximal nail fold with a Cyanoacrylate glue. "The mechanism of action for improvement is probably related to the presence of an obstacle to picking."[8]
