Looking for Information on Skin Picking Disorders

Sometimes I have skin on the inside of my mouth or something and I keep picking or chewing it, and my toungue/fingers start hurting to the point where I cry because I'm using them so much, but I have to keep doing it until it's gone. I hate OCD :)

YES!!! Any bumps. Pimples. My lips. My fingers. It’s worse when I’m stressed but I still do it all the time. If there’s something on my body that’s not supposed to be there I have to make it go away. I’m so scarred it’s disgusting.

@ bunni I pick all the time especially at work. People even thought once a long scab on my inner part of my arm was from “cutting”. For 1 it’s too high to be that and that’s not something I do. My hubby tells me to stop a lot and is determined to get me to stop. I’ve been picking a lot of my life. No one so far as been able to make me stop. So I tell him good luck lol

i pick a lot and it’s really bad. i cannot stop myself from picking at any bumps or i won’t sleep bc i know they are there. my fingers are so bad, my face, my back, and my arms. it’s really hard because i get told by many people to just stop and it doesn’t work like that. also not diagnosed

Yes mine is so gross and disgusting i pick at it without knowing. my cuticles have wounds all around them and my knuckles i have picked at and they are now rough like warts on each of my fingers

YES! I’m not formally diagnosed but I’ve been picking my skin since elementary school (mainly my fingers). When I’m having a really rough day with lots of stress I can come home and not even realize how messed up my fingers were! I don’t know a whole lot about it aside from personal experience but I know it’s out there!
