I don’t know if this is skin picking, or hair picking. I pick and scrape the skin off of my toes, but I also dig into my legs to pull out a hair. Just needing some advice

@Bigotina No I moisturize every night. And for my legs I purposefully yank skin off of my legs and then pull a hair out

@Bigotina Don’t have one. I got discharged from therapy about a year ago. I’ll see what I can do.
@Bigotina Yeah no I do all of these things. I just wanted to know if it was skin picking or hair picking. I’ve tried everything I just can’t seem to figure out how to get myself to stop. I’m not worrying about it I’m just confused cause I don’t know where it falls. I appreciate your help tho. I really do. And my therapist discharged me cause I was fine and able to live again. Bittersweet moment cause I loved her but still ☺️
I know that I have OCD and I was told that the medication I take for my ADHD would help but I don't believe that it does, I now find myself picking and making the scabs on my head and I'm worried that the hair will not grow back but I cannot stop doing it. I don't know what to do. I was told I need therapy.
I’ve chewed my nails and skin around my nails since birth it feels like. My fingers look deformed, when they get water on them they get all white and puffy. almost like if you stay in a pool too long and get that weird water log on your hands. Only I put my hands in water for like 30 seconds and they puff up instantly. I believe I made it one of my OCD routines. I have to constantly check if there’s no loose skin or nails sticking out, and if there is I have to chew it off then I just don’t stop chewing until my finger is bleeding. It’s a very bad habit but it relieves my anxiety when I do it. I’m tired of my deformed, red, bloody fingers and nails it’s so embarrassing.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to stop picking at their scalp?
