Strategies to Curb Dermatillomania Picking?

Finally got a formal Dermatillomania diagnosis!! (even though I've figured/assumed for almost a year lol). Any go to strategies you guys have to curb the picking? I also probably have ADHD so idk if that effects strategies (my current therapist is hesitant to screen me for whatever reason and I will probably be therapist shopping this summer)

Just now working on this too! What has worked for me is to surround myself by other fidgets. How did you go about getting a diagnosis?

I mentioned something off handedly to my therapist about a particular favorite scab I had last year and she suddenly got really interested LOL so she went thru the criteria and then made a big deal of it.
