I know things like that can be embarrassing (((HUGS)))
I'm a picker, too.

I can't help it when there's an issue. My acne from the lithium was SO bad it was impossible not to touch it. I have some scars because I messed with it, but the acne was so deep, I would have had some scars anyway.

I also pick out of anxiety and have been doing it recently. I can spend an hour with my nose pressed up to the mirror. I have ways of preventing acne afterwards if there were no real problems like zits to begin with. I can't believe my skin isn't in worse shape.

My husband's a big time picker. He won't touch his face unless he has a zit, but he picks his arms and somehow he gets to his shoulders and parts of his back. He has a lot of very big scars.
