Dermatillomania (skin picking) - My Story & Tips

I have suffered with Dermatillomania for most of my life and have tried so many different things to help cure my skin. I don't have bad acne naturally but I scratch/pick my skin instead - this is a type of OCD, mental disorder. As aggravating as it is, it is somewhat beyond my control (literally just picked whilst writing this). Sometimes my skin is terrible, sometimes it clears up. It is on and off, constantly. It is definitely better overall recently since I have adopted such a good skin care routine, but it is still now way near perfect. There is often a lot of shame/embarrassment that comes with disorders like this and so I hope me putting this out there can help de-stigmatize the condition. If you also suffer from this disorder, just know that you are not alone and that I understand completely how aggravating it can be. My messages are always open if you need to talk! xxx

Also, if you're interested in the cleansing device that I use and LOVE - message me on Instagram and I can help you :)

Wow girl thank you for being so real! How did you heal picking marks in the wound phase?

Wow, thanks for sharing. I'm 59 and have dealt with this all my life. My car, watching the tube, my hands just automatically go to my face. EXACTLY THE same as you. WHY do I do it? 😢 I try so hard to stop. UGH.

This vid was kind of a wake up call for me.

Yes I know this, I’m lost in the act. My scars last month, I have scars every where, bottom, breast, arms, legs and torso, even with the bandage I would uncover it remove the scab, and pul on it to raw, I spent 28 months in satin gloved to discourage picking
