Help! I can't stop picking at my deep and painful breakouts

I know EXACTLY which ones you're talking about. I feel you. But honestly, the best way to get rid of these is with TendSkin (a razer bump liquid that burns but really works!!) and self control. I can barely control leaving those ones alone because they hurt so much and I want to feel that sudden relief. I seriously recommend TendSkin- but if you have dry skin, use it sparingly. It WILL dry out your skin. I hope this helps!!

Have you seen a dermatologist about them? Set up an appointment and for 2 weeks prior, you should be motivated to not pick because you'll want the doctor to not focus on your picking and give you an accurate diagnosis that could possibly result in you finding treatment for it!

I totally understand where you're coming from, and it's so hard ❤️ the urge to pick, for me, is very, very strong when it's looking like a sore. I was able to get a picking stone off Etsy, thanks to my therapist bringing it up. It's a lava/pumice stone that you fill with liquid latex, and after it's set, you can take these picking tools to it and pull out the hardened latex from the holes. It doesn't always make me want to not pick, but it does distract me and somewhat satisfy the urge sometimes. Maybe that could help?
