What should I do, about my thumb?

Question:

I bit the side of my thumb nail, and wasnt paying attention and ended up ripping off my cutical. I have about half an inch of my nail gone, and its to the meat of my thumb. I am always biting my nails, and I think I done damage. It hurts to use it. Any advice?
Thank you.

Answers:
I have been a nail biter since as far back as I can remember. I have often times chewed off way more than I should have and have started myself bleeding more times than I'd care to count.

It will heal itself just fine. Perhaps a bit tender for the next few days, but it will heal. Just leave it alone, and oh, that little tiny hangnail you like to gnaw on till it's gone? Leave that alone too :)

i have this problem too.. just wait for a few days, it'll be gone soon. (don't think about it)
