How Can Excoriation Disorder While Suffering From Bipolar Disorder Be Treated?

i have bipolar disorder that typically presents as depression. Occasional hypo-manic stages. Used to pull out the hairs on my legs with tweezers for hours on end. Doc gave me perphenozine and it helped a lot. In fact I no longer do that. But now (and for a long time) I ve been pulling off toenails and skin off of my fingers. Would perphenozine help with that?
