Overcoming dermatillomania (ocd skin picking)
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for me! I'll be 27 in a couple of weeks and since I was 12 I've obsessively picked at my scalp.
There was actually a one year period right before I got pregnant that I had stopped. I picked it back up again.
Just last night when my 2 year old was in the bathtub I looked in the mirror. I saw one of the spots was a bald spot the size of a quarter. I was mortified and I'm ready to stop again but it's very difficult.
I've thought of maybe wearing gloves, putting some sort of barrier on my wounds. Chopping my nails down low.
IDK. Looking for any kind of advice or your success stories.
Thank you for your time xoxo
