Hello. So I tend to pick my scalp a lot. I will stand in front of a mirror to pick at my scalp because it feels so itchy and I don't like the white flakes on me or my hair because I feel people will judge me for the white flakes.
Anyways, so a few days ago, when I was at work, I felt a big clog of flakes or a previous scab on my head, so I went to the mirror to pick at it. Then I saw some other dry skin so I picked at it and there was a "U" shaped mark that was bleeding for a good 15 mins. I had to put a paper towel on my head to help stop the bleeding.
And this was at work. It was a good thing I was working with someone with mental illness and has an impulse disorder (as in nail biting). Anyways, it was that moment that I think I should bring it up to my pdoc. I have done this for too long, and my head is covered in scabs and it bleeds and it takes up so much time and I am super annoyed by it. I can't stand it it seems. I just pick and pick and pick. Gah!
