I also use flesh biting as a coping mechanism. Although not as severe as to get myself an infection. I often bite the skin around my nails until it is raw but I also bite holes in my wrists. I remember the first time I did it - I was in an exam, crying my eyes out, and my teacher (who was supposed to care about me) walked down past my line and went to the back of the hall so I got so angry that I just started tearing my skin apart. I tend to stick to cutting now as I find it provides better results but I do understand the need for flesh biting. Unfortunately I can offer no advice :( as my methods would have been the ones you have mentioned or others have. But just wanted to add my support
*hugs*x
