After reading everyone else's replies on here, I started thinking about all of my picking that I do/have done. Since I was little I used to scratch my arms till they bled and were *****.

I used to pick at this one spot on my head, that I had for years.( I picked it from about age 3 - 8 or later) What really sticks out in my head was that it would grow into a really tall scab, which I would pull off, and dig into the hole (sorry about gross info) I still have the scar/scab.

The last year I have found that to get the feeling back as to what I had when I was younger, I pull out the hairs from this scab, the first time I stopped because I noticed I was balding. IDK I seem to enjoy the pain.??????

I went to the Dermatologist a couple years ago for scars and she said at least 6 times about how I am a picker, and I need to stop, or else I won't get any help. These are on my face.

When nervous I tear paper, play with paper clips, pick off nail polish, flick my fingernails, roll tissue into tiny pieces. I touch my face, continuously.

If I see a mole where I don't want it, I cut it off (by digging into it). Usually looks worse than what it was. I know you can get cancer if u pick moles. :S But I do it anyways.

I have this rash like scar on my upper back just below my neck that I always scratch especially when the skin is hot and sweaty, I am worried about scarring, but I still seem to scrap and dig deep into it until it bleeds, because it feels soooo good. ??????

I pick in my ears, as soon as I find an owie I must attack it!!! I seem to like when it's infected, more goo. haha there is something wrong with me....

I find that doing these things feels as good or better as it does to eat. (Emotional Eater)
