Loose Skin

I have a terrible habit of picking the skin around my nails. You know the little flaps of skin that pop-up. I just grab them and rip them off like little skin ribbons.
I wonder why I don’t get them on other parts of my body?
Shouldn’t I get them on all my extremities? Toes? Other? Maybe the socks keep in natural oils? Maybe hand washing is destructive? Should I quit washing my hands? Wear gloves? I wonder what my ancestors who didn’t wash their hands or wear sock get them did they get them all over? Shouldn’t I get them on my face? I wash my face a lot too? It isn’t under a covering?
Guess that is all I got on skin ribbons…

Oh don't pull 'em! That could easily be infected. Try using moisturizers or hand lotions. Seek doctors if you need more help.

Yeah, you should refrain from doing that. It seems like a bad habit, and it's one that has the potential for infections. Pictures would be nice, since it's hard to guess the exact problem here...
