Skin picking
I have a habit of picking my skin. I pick Any bumps blisters, scabs, undergrowth and even my scalp. There are multiple places where my skin has scarred due to this reason. My wounds don't heal easily. Also it's painful later. I want to stop but I don't know how because at this point my hands automatically search for any spot I can pick.
