(((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.

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.)
