I never even realized this was an "issue" I just figured it was something some people do. I can't bite my finger nails or fingers, it makes me cringe the feeling of finger nails in my mouth. But I pick the heck out of my nails, my face, my fingernails and all scabs. It's a feeling... I don't feel right until my skin is smoothe. Same with my fingernails. I pick and pick until they are smooth which means, until they are all but gone. My cuticles and the skin around my fingers have a permanant disfiguration to them with my constant picking and my face, I'll have pimples for months because I can't leave them alone. It happens in phases. Distractions are my technique. When I notice it's getting carried away I start to try and distract myself, give my hands something else to do. But often I'll be sitting in front of the mirror telling myself "don't pick it's just going to make more scars..." but that thought is quickly followed by "just one more time to smooth it out"... Never ending cycle sometimes....
