I pick other places of my skin like an occasional pimple or whatnot, but my big problem is my feet. I rarely pick anywhere than my feet. And I really go to town on my poor feet. I use tools to help me pick. I ha e to have socks on at all times to remind me not to touch them. But that does t always work. I've had some very serious staph I factions resulting from picking. But sometimes I can't help it, it just needs to be done. My advice is to wear something on your hands that would make it harder to pick when you are doing something like looking in a mirror or whatever activity triggers you. Also avoid things at have become part of the picking habit...if you pick in front of a mirror put the mirror away and only take it out to get ready or something like that. Change up your routine and it sort of helps break the cycle. For me it's picking while watching TV or right when I get out of a shower. So on go the socks and it does help. You need to retrain your brain.
