there is a point to this thread... once you bite it it keeps happening, how do you get out of this pattern ?
Easy, wait till a brusque Sarf Efriken dentist goes "that looks a bit like cancer mate". I stopped that very afternoon and haven't chewed the inside of my mouth since...tricky69 said:

About 2 months ago I bit the inside of my cheek whilst eating a burger. Hurt a bit but not too bad.
Then I could feel that little bit of skin flapping around where I'd bitten it and it was really irritating me.
So I decided to grab hold of it with my fingers and pull it off.
Did that ok, but it left another little bit of skin hanging loose in my mouth. So I pulled that out as well.
Which left another litle bit.
Repeat for the next 30 mins or so until I had effectively pulled all the top layer of skin off from the inside of my right cheek.
The pain was what finally stopped me.
Gotta say, drinking coke was sore, but not as sore as eating hot food the next day.
Took several days for a thin layer of skin to reform, and about 2 weeks for the slight infection and pain to subside.
I have learned a lesson... leave the little bits of skin resulting from biting your cheek well alone!!!

tricky, after you've munched the inside of your cheek, buy a pack or two of
extra strong mints, put one inbetween your teeth and the sore, swollen part.
keep doing this for a good part of the day.
this will stop you re-biting the swollen part, because the mint separates the teeth and swollen part. allowing the swelling to go down.
medical cures have never tasted so good

Oh yeah, stop shouting, i've got a headache

I once went out with a bird that chewed the skin around her fingernails rather than her nails, 
Wierd thing is she was a very successful and fit business woman
It's a sign of nerves. One of my friends just picks the skin around her fingernails. She kindly left a whole new human sitting on the passenger seat of my car when she got out.
