Compulsive picker
My body is covered in sores that are stinging from compulsive pickig. What's the best thing to do.take a shower then put cream on?or is it best to put no creams on?
Try an epsom salt bath. It has magnesium sulfide in it. The sulfur helps prevent infection and helps with tissue healing. Add 1 cup to bath water and soak. Pat dry, don't rub. Wounds heal faster if kept moist. Neosporin ointment on the sores, just a thin layer. Cetaphil is a good lotion for people with sensitive or allergy prone skin. It has minimal chemicals.

OK I'll try that thank you so much for your help
see the "wounds are healing thread" People are having success with calamine lotion ( the pink lotion for rashes). It is healing wounds and diminishing scars and pigment changes.
Oh great I'll have a look.
