Constantly picking

Does self harm include constantly picking on myself? I am constantly picking the scabs off of my sores. It's embarrassing to wear short sleeves. I have sores on my arms, legs, upper chest as well as back.

I'm afraid so..try putting lotion with aloe or anti itch cream that might help and if you want to pick at it just try listening to music or talk to a friend do something you love.

I've struggled with skin picking since I was a little kid. (I'm a young adult now.) Very very recently I've found blogs and websites about skin picking. The old term for it is dermatillomania. I've found a twitter, and tumblr, and a facebook group.
