It could be OCD related - OCD manifests itself in many ways and varying degrees. It takes courage to admit this and don't be too hard on yourself I've heard of this problem before and had a question in the Q&A section where the poster picks and eats the scabs. I wonder if wearing gloves would help or I suppose this would be impractical. Would rewarding yourself work or distracting yourself?
