Hey everyone. I'm a 14 year old girl and I have dermatillomania, which means I pick my skin/scabs/zits when I'm nervous, bored, or stressed. It also includes me biting my nails and the inside of my lips. It's gotten really bad, to the point where I'll just be going through my day and I'll notice I've bitten the inside of my lips raw or have bleeding wounds on my arms or legs.
I was just wondering if anyone else out there that has this condition has any suggestions for what I can do?
Thanks guys.

Im 27 and have suffered from this since I was 12 and just learned what it was, I do my best to keep my hands occupied constantly otherwise I will trance out for hours picking, stressballs help and my favorite is cross stitch projects that way my hands are busy and I end up with something pretty, they make great gifts too.good luck

Hi, I'm 19 and I'm in college. I've just started doing research on this because I don't remember a time when I didn't do it. I have depression and I'm fairly paranoid. I try to manage it all because I know that its wrong of me. I have a psychiatrist that I go to for my depression. I'm thinking of talking to her about this. Maybe you could do the same?
