Hi,
I'm 15 now and for maybe 7 or 8 years I've had the habit of chewing on my knuckles. Not actually biting into the skin, just chewing on them. Just like some people bite their nails...I chew on my knuckles. I used to do it to all of my knuckles and they all turned white and swollen. I stopped chewing on all of them and focused all my attention on one and the rest went right back to normal...that was a couple years ago. I've been chewing on this same finger for years, and now it's gotten really swollen and kinda disformed looking. Is there a plastic surgeon that could remove this swollen area and graft skin onto the area from somewhere else on my body?
I'll take pictures if necessary...
Thanks.
