Big ups for being self aware enough to realise the best way forward for you.

How do I stop biting my nails and all the skin around them?
Skin around my fingernails feels like crocodile skin

Raw willpower.

Alternatively dip your fingertips into something that won't kill you but tastes very bad.

There are actually polishes on the market to that effect. Took me untill i was 30 to stop biting nails, i just one day stopped. Cleaning your nails a few times a day is a pita tho.

This. My brother was a chronic thumb-sucker as a child, and nothing at that age would make him flip out more than the sight of our parents approaching with that thumb polish stuff.

Regarding the raw willpower idea: start small. Decided that it's fine if you bite your nails in, say, three out of five fingers but not the two others. Then gradually and consciously reduce the number of nails you're allowed to bite. Getting rid of the habit once and for all is way harder than doing gradual changes over time.
