  • Title: Unilateral onychodystrophy secondary to nail biting.
    Author: Singer P, Gibson GH.
    Journal: Cutis; 1988 Sep; 42(3):191-2. PubMed ID: 3168549.
    Abstract:
    Whether or not nail biting is a sign of underlying psychiatric disorders is the subject of controversy. We report here a case of nail biting that was unusual in its pattern and severity, and occurred in a patient with previously diagnosed psychiatric disease. The literature regarding psychiatric disease associated with self-inflicted nail disease is reviewed.
