I where pants twelve months of the years. While my worst is simple picking on my shoulders, chest and upper arms...no one knows thus but my psych doc, and now you...my worst self harm is my thighs. Over months of picking the same place night after night the "trying to heal" scars turn purple.
Why?

I don't know why, but I think it is normal for wounds of a certain depth to have a purple hue to them when in the healing stages. I have seen that around my own wounds and I don't pick. take care.

I would love to have clear. comely hands. this is impossible due to to scratching blisters which crop up when I'm stressed. I understand. I am so sorrowful over the disfigurement.

Picking at the same areas over and over tends to make scar tissue worse from my personal experience. I have loads of purple scars too. Eventually they do fade though, it just takes awhile.
