sometimes (it's more often when i'm stressed) i get a HUGE urge to pick my scabs, is it normal and does anyone else have this problem?
I have a little scab on my left arm that I never give the chance to heal because I always pick the scab off when I'm bored. It has gotten to the point where I have to put a band-aid on it so I'll leave it alone lol.
How many scabs do you have? Maybe you have some kind of flesh eating disease if you're always picking your scabs.
i don't have too many, maybe like 5 or 6 (i try to have as little as possible), but i do have quite a few scars from ones that finally cleared up (mostly on forehead and arms). i don't think that it is a flesh eating disease. they usually start as acne and i'll start scratching at them.............
You might have something called Dermatillomania. It's a disorder that makes you have the urge to pick at your skin, I have it and it's not the greatest but you learn to deal with it. Maybe talk to a doctor if you are really concerned? But if you want to try and stop it now I would recommend fiddle toys or a stress ball, something to keep your hands busy. Good luck!
