Dermatillomanie (also known as compulsive skin picking or CSP) 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. Dermatillomania can be a compulsion of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

People afflicted with dermatillomania find skin picking to be stress relieving or gratifying, though it can still be as physically painful as it would be for a non-skin picker.

The regions most commonly affected by this are the face, gums, lips, back, shoulders, scalp, stomach, chest, and extremities such as the fingernails, cuticles, and toenails. Physical indicators of dermatillomania most commonly expressed in these areas are swelling, scarring, bleeding, and callusing due to damage to the affected region's epidermis.

For me its another possibility to hurt myself instead of cutting.

Some of the pics are taken by me.

Reminds me of myself, back when I would be high. Although I only picked my stomach. I feel sorry for whoever does this shit all the time.

Would it be considered a form of self mutilation similar to cutting but not as extensive?

My oldest daughter does this as does her grandmother. I have to watch her for infections on her face. She usually doesnt even realize she is doing it now.
