yeah I bite and pick my lips & inside my mouth. its a pain in the ass but such a deep ingrained habit now. I've pulled skin from one side of my mouth right the way to the other - lots of blood, swelling, ulsers, pain. ergh. its calmed down a lot now - not in frequency but outcome. its impossible to stop cause i do it automatically w/o realising half the time! i think i do it thru nerves, boredom, and habit. people have photos of me picking away when i dont even realise what im doing! Grrr. If you do go too close to the gums tho - use ulcer gel to relieve the pain. good luck!
