Hannah Miller, I know I have a problem with picking my acne and stuff and it turns into scars that have healed but are still visible. I just wish that I could stop but I can't

not true. skin can be excoriated by many things. in general it means it is raw. not from a specific reason.

Does anyone else do it to their scalp?

Celadon, it's called Trechotelamania (pardon if misspelled, just sounding it out).

yes you will, my daughter beat it and she has a video on YouTube just talking about it and what can help

Celadon, my dad…. Severely abused in his childhood - he has sores everywhere

GrammaK, for me it’s directly linked to stress and anxiety

Pippa

Yeah I do it …. Multiple scars on my arms…. 3 open at the moment I’ve been through the wars and all I’ve come out with is a sugar addiction and picking - I considered myself one of the lucky ones 👍🏻

GrammaK

Is this stress/anxiety related or habitual?

Fred H

Roxie

PrincessBoo, l have done this since l was 14, l am now 63 & still pick...😪

SOS

I've had this pretty much all my life but way worse in the last 20yrs. The sores created last for around 2yrs. I am covered in scars, especially bad on my arms & chest. I ended up getting a numbing cream that's used for laser removal of tattoos. When I touch my skin it feels dead so I don't pick as much😐

Player #18191072, like skin around fingernails, I'm trying to stop

I had an aunt who had this disorder. Didn't realize there was a name for it. She was a hoarder as well.

I gnaw on my cuticles to stop biting the nails.

Guillermo

didn't Goldmember of Austin Powers fame do this??

Player #28072997

I was told people who do this are depressed and bored. when they peel or use tweezers to remove the skin and very painful. ( full of nerv e endings) When they feel the pain they no there still alive. people with chronic pain will do it just to feel another type of pain and different area to just hurt experienceing
