I too have a bad habit of biting off the dead skin and cuticles from my finger...especially when I'm trying to not smoke so I guess I would fall under the substance abuse category.

At it's worst it was approaching pic #5 but not quite as bad.

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..

Wow I am sorry to hear that. I am on Lithium as well. When I was younger I had a compulsion to pick but I figured that was just age. It went away as I got older and I think the lithium actually helped with most of my compulsions.

I see meth heads do this all the time. Not that these are all meth addicts. I wonder if they have done any research on the cause/comparison of the two, meth and dermatillomania.

Yeah aren't there several pics floating around on here purporting to be of a guy on meth who tore his own face off? And another guy who slashed his stomach and started yanking his own intestines out?
