I ask this because sometimes when I'm alone and worrying about what to do, or what the next day might bring I find I mindlessly pick at my skin and sort of stop thinking about it, even just for a little bit. I will pick at bumps, scabs, hangnails, pimples etc.!

I don't know if it's possible, but I'm exactly like this. I obsess over what others think of me when they see me, to the point of being paralyzed in my home with fear of stepping outside. I do have some OCD tendencies, so I can't say for sure what is causing it.
