It is a rare practice. You run the risk of exposing yourself to exposure to all manner of masty virii, bacteria, etc.

Yeah it is.  It's a scab.

It's probably just a thickening of the skin.  It just happens.  I had the same thing, and I went to a specialist.  They took some scrapings and said it was basically nothing.

I'd call it more of a compulsion then an addiction but yes. Many people including myself have this problem. It does give you a sorta pleasurable release. For me it isn't just my face but anywhere and it can be a pimple or just a scab. Can't help myself I just pick it. Sounds gross I know... lol. It doesn't have to be on me either. Whenever I see someone with a ripe pimple it is all I can do not to reach out and pop it for them. I used to BEG my boyfriend to let me pop his pimples and blackheads. He HATED it but because he knew how much I loved doing it he would let me... lol.

It sounds like a problem with your diet. I hope the dermatologist has some answers for you.

If you wash them off in water first, yes they are safe.  Make sure none of them look like they are dying, or have any greenish color to them.  I cannot imagine why you would desire to eat them though, to me that would be completely disgusting.

Ate something wrong? Heck no, its plant pigment & fiber in your diet. It happens when you are eating large amount of greenish plants.\n\nIts harmless. I occasionally have it since I'm a vegan.

I would think you are probably just eating a lot of fiber.  It does not sound unhealthy to me.

I would not eat them for every meal but they are a good source of nutrition, watch the sodium content and stay away from creamy soups, those are high in fat and calories

I work in the health care field and I have the same problem. It's something to do with the texture. Even thinking about it gives me the goosebumps. I have even run into a few patients who are the same way.

It's because of the scab. It is just like dry skin. The old skin dries up and new grows underneath.

He has a fetish, I guess. As long as he's eating off only your feet and nobody else's, I don't see what the problem is.\n\nDo you get pedicures and stuff? Are your feet soft and pretty looking, or calloused and rough?

i try to as much as possible.\ni usually eat a salad every day, and i noticed if i go even a couple of days without any "greens" then my skin really does pay for it, and i have bad hair days.  weird but true.
