How does one stop the compulsion to picking at their skin? I have scars all over from picking at the tiniest zit or bump on me. It becomes huge and takes forever to go away.
Anything aside from attending meetings and such. I don't think outing such an embarrassing thing would help me much.
Do either of your parents pick at things on their skin like you do? Do these things that you are picking at cause you any discomfort or itching without you picking at them?

And you would be the only person in the room with a problem if you go to, say, an OCD support group? And isn't the habit getting to be obvious--and that's not embarrassing?

Well, it's nearly 1:30 here. In 12 hours I have to be at work. I hope more people (YO!! CLOUGH!!!), especially ones who've been through this and conquered it, see this thread and give you some good advice. I'll check back after I get some sleep. 'Nighty night.

I'm very sensitive about my scars..>I wear long sleeve shirts all the time.
