I keep on picking the top of my wrist and and my arm..the scabs now look horrible and Im embarrsed when people look at them

I'm exactly the same - I spend a fortune on bandaids to cover my arm and chest and leg sores up because that's what people can see when I'm at work, I still get embarrassed when people ask about the bandaids, but it's better than the alternative. Have you tried using bandaids to cover yours up? I find it helps in a way because I can just make up a white lie about what happened to my arms, instead of launching into a huge explanation that I have a disorder that makes me pick at my skin.

- I have a good excuse for the forearm thing.... mechanic by trade. ;)

I do the same. I pick the scabs on my arms and legs and they never heal. I pick in any and all situations. Whether I'm nervous, anxious, excited, or whatever I pick. I am a somewhat attractive girl (not conceited in any way) but my body is covered with these disfiguring scard. I know its a disgusting habit but I don't know how to stop. I'm 26 years old and I have done this since I was a kid. I have an appointment with a new doctor in about a week and I think I am going to bring it up then. I am so sick of people asking me whats wrong with my arms and legs. Its embarrassing. The summer months are the worst for me because the misquitos eat me alive.
