On my face is so satisfying.
Afterwards I feel like my face can breathe.
I do have scarring on my face as a result.
My mum used to pick my spots when I was a young teen.

Picking can become a disorder. Excoriation disorder is a form of OCD. I’m being treated for it. Last night I wanted so bad to do it but I’m healed right now.

I pick at facial hairs and zits compulsively.
If I can’t get one of those coarse hairs out, I get really tense and can’t breathe properly. I often have sores on my face from picking my skin raw.

Do you pick at spots or just skin in general?
Yea I sort of go in a trance wen I do it.

I would say… don’t ever pick. I have a very scarred face, because of picking my pimples while I had severe acne for 3 years. My skin probably wouldn’t be as scarred up if I didn’t pick at things.
But I know it’s hard not to pick. Cause I always felt bad afterwards, yet I felt like I couldn’t resist picking, again, only an hour later.

I pick my scalp mostly. At times I had over 50 wounds on my scalp that I was picking. All those little bald spots are growing back in now. My pdoc finally found a medicine that curbs the compulsion in me mostly. When I’m highly upset I still want to but after so many years it’s hard to completely stop.

I never squeezed the blackheads on my face because as a kid i was told i would have permanents holes on my face if i did it, i was dumb and believed that for many years, later someone told me that was a lie (yeah i should have done research i know) I started squeezing them and my face has never been clearer.

I started using this lavender oil on my head and face and it gave me ance lol. Never put scented oils on your face is I guess the lesson

I have issues with skincare - my excema / psoriasis .
I unconsciously find myself picking / scratching at it constantly.
And it gets worst rather than using medication and daily skin care routine.
Thankfully it’s under control right now.

You can try those for the next session. I think they are available and safe for the general population to use.

Yea at least better than nails digging into my skin I think that damages the elasticity of the pores and this leads to enlarged pores.
