howdy! i'm new here, and this is my first post.

i have a pretty bad issue with picking scabs. if i find any scab, i peel it every time it heals, and it's left my body covered in scars. my lip picking's also gotten pretty bad lately and results in daily bouts of bloodied lips and fingers i'm a little tired of getting blood on everything i touch ;v;

it's really, really difficult (read: so far nothing's actually worked) for me to stop. i feel the scabby wound or the edges of a split lip and need to pick it until it's gone. on the other hand, i never pick my skin otherwise.

i was wondering if this would be considered dermatillomania?

Welcome to Psych Central (PC) acetane.

The answer to your question about dermatillomania seems to be a compulsive disorder OCD and possibly self injury.
