Dermatillomania aka Skin Picking
So I just yesterday realized that me picking at every little blemish and imperfection in my skin is something that has a name, that other people deal with. I'm now experiencing a combination of relief and anxiety--relief that other people get what I'm feeling, and anxiety because now that this thing has a name it's real and I'm going to have to work hard to deal with it.
Anyone else here have this issue? I've read some tips for dealing, like keeping your hand busy, getting fake nails, using gentle skin products, and plan to seek some professional help/advice, but I'd love to hear from anybody else dealing with this.
