Hello how can i stop my daughter picking her skin till it bleeds she as lots of little scabs on her body she can't leave them alone . Her skins starting to scar i've noticed she picks more when shes feeling anxious we went to hosptal yesterday for blood tests she picked her skin non stop. At the hospital she had four areas numbed with cream this caused a melt down because she said her arms felt wet she screamed shouted and hit me several times when it came to actully having the blood test she was so calm which was a bit strange i expected her to panic.
Thank you so much for your replie. My little girls bites her nails till really sore and shes always bitting her lips when shes picking her scabs etc i don't think she realises shes doing it she often just stares into space. Sounds silly but some times i think she enjoys the pain when she falls over she just starts picking at her grazes. What could i give her to pick at? ive tried stress balls.
