fed up with my skin picking disorder
Hello Everyone, I am a 32 year old man, who is searching for a fast cure to a long term disease. What brought me here today is the embarrassment of getting fingerprinted for a security officer guard card training experience today. I have been peeling the skin from just my fingers, no biting or scratching. Only peeling. This is not a case of depression or anxiety. I do it for comfort and bordem and lost of focus. I can peel my fingers when driving my car, its so bad. I started peeling when I was in the third grade, 8 yrs old. and I thought I would be able to stop when I was entering my 20's. I remember promising myself that I would and didnt. I am married, so its not that embarrassing, but to the public I still hide my fingers. I peel at the corners of my fingertip, where the meat is thick and then work my way around the finger, trying to stay on one layer.lol. Its not funny at all to me though it feels good doing it. The only fingers that are not peeled at this moment are my left and right ring fingers. My two index fingers are peeled from the nail on back to the knuckle. My left middle fore hand finger is peeled from the nail on back to the middle of the bend and the knuckle. I have a more picked skin on my palm side. All but my ring fingers are peeled some and others are peeled bad. I can peel my palm side down to the second brown lines on my fingers. To make matters worse I am african american. Which means these infictions are very obvious. I am here to find a cure and some help. I went to the doctors and will most likely go back but I feel talking with others who share the same or similar problem may be better right now. I hope we all can cure our painful addictions very soon.
Thanks for reading ,
D
