A new study published in JAMA Dermatology suggests that a simple technique called habit replacement may help reduce body-focused repetitive behaviors such as nail-biting, skin picking, and hair pulling. The technique involves gently rubbing the fingertips, palm, or back of the arm at least twice a day. In the study, about 53% of participants reported some improvement compared to 20% in the control group. While further research is needed, experts find the results encouraging and believe that habit replacement techniques could be a helpful self-help approach for those waiting for treatment or in combination with other therapies.
