Hey,
I was just curious if anyone else on here suffers with dermatillomania? (obsessively/excessively picking your own skin) It's something I have done since my teens and predominantly I obsessively 'attack' my lips, and also pick/pluck at my eyebrow hair...in both cases this can be for long sustained periods and ultimately will damage the skin causing it to be very sore and very noticeable. It does also come with a feeling of relief once I've finished. I just wondered if anyone else does this or has any tips for maybe reducing it? I guess like switching focus maybe? Also just curious if this is related to being on the spectrum as I'm currently awaiting formal diagnosis at 36, however having pretty much accepted I have high functioning asd/asperger's.
Thank you in advance
Marti
