I need a Thanksgiving miracle! I pick my fingers due to lack of handling anxiety in a healthy manner. I started back the age-old bad habit on friday November 18th 2022. My house parent expects my fingers to be healed by wednesday November 23rd 2022.

I applied neosporin on my fingers a few hours ago and put cotton gloves on my hands.

HT! I desperately need help healing these 4 spots by this wednesday.

Put some O'Keeffe's working hands salve (it comes in a round, green plastic jar) on your fingers and hands. It will burn a bit but it helps to heal the skin a bit faster. Wear some thin, cotton gloves and get some sort of toy like a fidget spinner to play with instead of picking your fingers.

It's a bad habit but it can be broken. I used to pick my lips. It took me years to stop but I did stop.

This is the gloves I got.

Excellent News HT! My houseparent is allowing me to return home this thanksgiving on two conditions. I must have gloves on before meals & snacks and I must apply neosporin on my fingers twice a day until they'll completely healed.

Thank you very much for the advice, You Rock!
