BDD is body dysmorphic disorder (extreme imagined ugliness).. sometimes people with compulsive skin-picking have BDD, like they imagine everyone notices all of their clogged pores, so they must clear all of their clogged pores.

I pick my skin.. it's not really for the satisfaction exactly. It just drives me crazy when the surface of my skin is uneven. I know it just makes it worse to pick it but I feel like I have to make it even. Dermotillomania is associated with OCD, especially when it's that feeling (unevenness drives you crazy) that causes you to pick. I also start to scratch an itch on my leg, and then I can't stop -- even after the itch is gone, I feel like I have to keep scratching and I'm not sure why. Then, I ruin the skin and I get scabs. Then, I pick the scabs because the unevenness drives me crazy. I don't ever wear shorts and I live in FL.. It's embarrassing and I wish I would stop.
