Hello. I understand the whole picking thing. I pick my scalp when I am stressed because my dandruff levels spike because of stress sadly. Your body produces more of the fungus (I am pretty sure that's what it is) that creates dandruff when you are stressed.
Anyways, do you cut your fingernails short? If not, that's a good start. I find that when my nails are shorter, I don't pick as much. Maybe buy a stress ball that you can use when you had the urge so you are still using your fingers, but not to harm you. Hope this helps [emoji3].
