Hi, I've been picking my thumbs since as long as I can remember, at least 17 years. It happens during periods of stress and anxiety; but I've managed to pause several times, however I always end up relapsing due to the fact that the calluses on my thumbs grow like crazy and it becomes too easy to start peeling them away.

• Is there any remedy to turning these picked areas back to "normal" skin? It feels akin to having foot calluses on my hands. I have to file them down or they become really thick and then my thumbs will split and its very painful. So I'd really love to know if this is achievable, and how!

Pictures of the current state of my thumbs, which is quite good for me!!
