I'm so glad I found this website...feet picker

I've been picking the skin from my fingers since I was a child. Around 3 years ago I started picking the skin from my feet, too. Sometimes they bleed and they look red and horrible I am embarrassed of showing the soles of my feet to anyone. I didn't think of it as being problematic until now when I realised I can't stop. It's such a relief to read of other people doing this. I thought I was a freak. I'm going to get pedicures in hopes of deterring further skin picking. Has anyone actually sought treatment for it or just tried to stop through their willpower? Anyone had success?
