Hello kith4v: Thank you for bringing your concern here to PC. I see this is your first post. Welcome to Psych Central.

The OCD and Trichotillomania forum, here on PC, may be another one to take a look at. Here's a link:

https://psychcentralforums.com/ocd-a...chotillomania/

And then here are links to 4 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that (hopefully) may be of some help. The fourth link is to an "Ask The Therapist" column where the writer asked about her own skin picking problem. I thought the therapist's reply would be worth reading. Do be cautious about the second & third articles I've linked you to though. They are graphic, as the author warns at the beginning:

Excoriation (Skin-Picking) Disorder

Picking Myself Apart (Pt. 1)

Picking Myself Apart (Pt. 2)

Can't Stop Picking at Skin - Ask the Therapist

I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
