Dermatillomania
i have been compulsively picking my skin since i was a child and i am just getting to the point where im realizing this is a compulsive and dangerous behavior. it started when i was a kid by picking scabs off of my scalp, but now im at my face with tweezers popping any pore i see. im started to leave scaring and i pick so much. i cant seem to stop it and i was just wondering if anybody else has experienced this because i feel very alone right now.
Thank you for sharing. Skin picking is something many people experience, and you’re not alone. It can be triggered by stress, anxiety, or other emotions. Speaking with a therapist can help you manage the behavior, and treatments like CBT can be effective. You don’t have to go through this by yourself, support is available.
