I have some medical issues, not life threatening, and refuse to go to the doctor...I don't want anyone looking at my back..looks like I have chicken pox again. I'm going a step deeper..does anyone else get a little sad once an area quits stabbing and just scars? Man I knew I had issues..and I really did think I was the only adult like this..which does bring shame and regret, yet I do it again every night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628531857607798337.post-23441123829018100372022-10-05T06:52:20.572-04:002022-10-05T06:52:20.572-04:00Been doing this all my life and I am 56.

I'm 25 years old and I only started picking and eating the scabs about 2 or 3 years ago. I've told my therapist about it and we've extensively discussed that it not only helps me to release negative feelings, but also helps me have less anxiety because my skin feels smoother. This can be considered an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for some people, but it can also just be associated with other mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Both hair pulling and skin picking run in my family, so it's honestly not much of a surprise to me. If you pick in places people can see (like I do) I've found that Neosporin +pain, itch, and scar ointment and CeraVe healing ointment are the most helpful for healing and moisture.
