I've been picking at my skin for as long as I can remember. I've always had anxiety but it seems to have worsened recently. I can't stop the idea of having any marks,scabs etc on me. I try not to think about it and keep my hands busy but I always end up getting this compulsion to do it. My hands are receiving the worst treatment,particularly at the moment and they look awful. I know they're infected but it doesn't stop the compulsion. I feel so ugly with the amount of scars on my legs, arms, hands and stomach where I couldn't stop picking. I have keloid scarring on my fingers which I noticed today as it was more prominent in the light. Just wish I could stop :(
