Greetings. For me, I have a dry scalp, but it gets worse when I'm stressed. I picked at clumps, or even just the scalp when I'm stressed. I pick my scalp until it bleeds, and it leaves scabs. No one notices the scabs because it's on my scalp. But once I have scabs, I pick at them too. I have wanted to tell someone about it but it goes on and off depending on stress. I try cutting my nails, showering more often. It does get worse when I don't shower often. I try wearing a hat, but still will go at it. I feel ashamed about it too, but I guess since no one can see it, I'm luckier. My social anxiety would go off even more if i did that. I'm just embarrassed because I do it in front of people because I have the urge too. So yes, I'm ashamed. I wish I didn't do it.
