Im Bleeding, Im hiding, I want to stop!

I pick my acne, bite my finger cuticles, and pick my heels so much they bleed and have a reddish color from scaring. It's summer and I feel embarrassed to wear flip flops. It hurts sometimes as I continuously pick...yet I keep picking! I have to get that piece off, make it uniform and smooth. But it never smoothes from picking, I always find another by snagging it with my finger nail. My fingers are healing quite well, and my face is doing a bit better though. One painful step at a time.

Please stop picking . . . feet will heal itself over time. The hard part on the feet is fine enough. Skin is there for a reason, rough or not . . . our body isn't trying to make the worst for ourselves.
