(((fellow pickers)))

I developed a bad case of adult acne a few years back, and along with it came a bad picking habit. Every time a new bump formed, I would go above and beyond to make it go away...which of course made it just stay longer.

In my search for a cure, I found a website that specifically addresses skin picking.

http://www.stoppickingonme.com/index.php

It has an 'online' course you can follow, that teaches you what picking does, and even addresses emotional issues that go along with it. It *might* be triggering, but if you want to address the skin picking, it is a really great resource.

(I am proud to say that I rarely pick now, and with changes in my diet, skin-care and emotional healing the acne is healing on its own.)
