Anyone else a picker, not a cutter?

You might have dermatillomania

Yeah, I pick. I more or less just let things happen to me, like getting burned, or my cats attacking me, and then I never leave the wounds alone. I once had a cut on my arm open for two months because I wouldn't leave it alone, and just kept picking at it.

I always picked because, first of all, its inconspicuous, if you pulled out a razor and started cutting, that would be a different story, but, most people look over picking. Second, you can do it anywhere, and anytime.

I had always been a picker, but then eventually when I got older I had ended up beginning to cut. Although I've been pretty good about it recently, I still do tend to get urges. But I still pick a lot.

All day everyday. Cuticles, scabs, bug bites the works. Not at all helped by the fact that I have cystic acne, recurring cysts and eczema, so there's always something to pick at.
