Sensation Of Wanting To Scratch And Bite In Cheeks. How To Get Rid Of This Feeling?

Hello. Once in a while, I will get this sensation of wanting to scratch and bite on the inside of my cheeks. Out of habit, I scratch at the spots, usually making it bleed, but the feeling is so uncomfortable that I need to do it in order to get rid of the feeling. It's on both inside cheeks as well. Any suggestion on what I could do to make it stop?

Hi
Thank for choosing, HCM , It seems Barber's psychosis, just control your self, try to forget it, and if you can not then try Hydroxyzine 10 mg thrice a day initially then reduce to one tab in day, this will help you much, have nice day.
