I have recently been diagnosed with a form of OCD. I will continually pick at scabs on my body. Once I get one it usually takes about a month for them to heal because I cannot leave them alone. My arms are all scared up because of my issue.

I talked to my Dr and she upped my medication but it still has not helped to stop this problem. A friend told me to get acrylic nails and it helped as long as I had them on.

I noticed I do this when I have nothing else to do with my hands. I try to find somethng to do with them but sometimes it is next to impossible to stop the urge to pick. Does anyone have any tips they can give me?
