Dermatillomania (Skin Picking)

Dermatillomania, also known as skin picking disorder or excoriation disorder, is a mental health condition where you compulsively pick at your skin. This can cause injuries, infections and scarring, leading to stress, anxiety and a reduced sense of well-being. This condition is often treatable with a combination of medication and therapy.
