so what do I do because he nipps me tighter until it is a bite because thinks it is food and so I cannot pick him up???

How long have you had the hamster? If you just recently got him, then you still need to tame and socialize him. And don't wake him up if he is sleeping or bother him when he wants to be left alone. Otherwise you will get bitten.
Some hamsters just aren't the cuddly type. If you hold them too long they will start nipping and biting. There's not much you can do about this.

what flavor soap?? i used strawberry round my friends and well you get the rest

[BlueSandpiper]

If that's the case, then LUCYMCCORKELL you should use regular, unscented soap. Scented soaps may cause your hamster to try to taste your hands. Try uisng regular, plain soap and see if that helps.
