Dermatillomania
I searched but I didn't see this posted yet. Sorry if I missed it and it is a repost. Dermatillomania (also known as neurotic excoriation, pathologic skin picking (PSP), compulsive skin picking (CSP) or psychogenic excoriation is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pick at one's own skin, often to the extent that damage is caused. Research has suggested that the urge to pick is similar to an obsessive compulsive disorder but others have argued that for some the condition is more akin to substance abuse disorder. The two main strategies for treating this condition are pharmacological and behavioral intervention. |

Re: Dermatillomania
Those cuticles..and hands...fucking ow! I think I have this honestly..started taking lithium this past year (yeh, yeh, yeh..bi-polar...don't tag me emo-scene-kid...lol), causes breakouts..like pimples and whatnot. Stand there at the mirror picking..and then rippng skin off of zits/dead skin etc with tweezers..then the next day..same deal..but with the scabs and "Debriding" the dead skin around the scabs.. Everyday..that is my routine before I can go anywhere..rip all the dead crap off..and wash my face with 91% rubbing alcohol.. |
