I Pick at my head so much, my head bleeds and I get blood all over my fingers. I try to stop, but I end up picking again. I also end up picking off scabs that have formed. After I pick, I smell my fingers. P.s this is extremy embarrassing for me to post and I'm really nervous about posting it. So pease don't be mean. {:)
I think it's normal to occasionally pick at your head -lightly-. But you said you're doing it frequently enough and roughly enough to bleed. I don't think that is normal or healthy... Hope you can find a way to stop. Maybe use willpower or a distraction.
it might be because of stress? If that's so, try doing something else with your hands, such as a stress ball or something. This might be a weird tip but if you put a bit of white glue on the back of your hand, let it dry and you can pick at that instead of your scalp. It actually worked for me to stop picking at my scabs. I know that it's not the same thing but you can try!
I don't "pick" really. But I do rub my fingers along my scalp and smell them. I always thought I was weird for doing this. Glad there's another weirdo out there.
It's called dermatillomania ..
Underlying anxiety is a pretty big contributor for this ..
I had it really badly growing up, but it seems to get less severe with age ..
I always thought I was weird for doing this and I don’t even know how it started but I feel a bit less weird to know that another people do it too, don’t know how to stop though
me too, my head have some dandruff and I love to scratch and pick it then smell my fingers. idk why
Is it a comfort thing? I pick at my lips at times, it's a comfort thing for me
