I love to pick on my skin--if I see even the slightest bump on me I'll pick at it. I can't help it!?


Question:
I even pick my parther's skin. Is this strange?

Answers:
I do the same thing. I think if it's not interfering with your life, it's not a problem! Obviously, if it's keeping you from living normally, you might want to talk to a professional.

Other Answers:
Some people do it. It's a little odd, but not a big concern.

i do this too.i guess we are strange..LOL! I thought I was alone on this one.
I love to pick also, but I shouldn't go into detail.


I tend to do that too. If you want answers though, talk to a psychologist. I did and it turns out that I have Overactive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I'm not implying that you have a mental problem or anything, but it would be a good idea to find out. I've picked at my skin for years and only recently realised why..instead of cutting myself i inflict pain by picking at my skin! I only do it when I'm sad, depressed etc.i finally stopped picking at the skin on my legs and arms because the scars were getting to much..but i now.only recently started cutting myself(ye, i know its really contradicting!!). I know i am depressed.but to my family and friends I'm this bubbly, happy person and so I'm finding it really hard to ask for help! I know I'm not in the position to help but i know from experience that picking at your skin(scabs).leaves scars.and its not nice.especially when summer comes around and its time to hit the beach! One suggestion i can make to people who do this cuz they like pain.why not get a tattoo or piercing? Ive got three tattoos and several piercings and it stopped me from hurting myself for several weeks after! I guess it all depends on the person.if you think its ok then carry on.if you think it isn't then get help! I know i want help..just gotta figure out how to get it.
