I have a sister, 39, who has been doing this since she was a child. Strange as it may seem, the only thing that helps is keeping acrylic nails on. She takes Prozac, but that doesn't help the cuticle-picking.She says that with the artificial nails she can't get to the cuticles. When she goes without them, her cuticles on all her fingers stay bloody. Depression and bipolar run in our family. I also have a good friend with a history of depression in her family and she has an aunt with the same "habit."
