Allthis time i thought i was alone

Wow, i feel some sort of reassurance to know I am not the only one...I have yet to meet anyone who picks their lips or face like I do...I want to cry I am so happy to know that there may be hope and at least I am not alone....so glad for this website and will start investigating all aspects...

Sorry forgot some questions. Is there a common mental denominator in lip pickers? Like they all had overbearing parents or were molested or something along those lines? Have you stopped? How long? Are relapses normal? Can I develope cancer on my lips if I keep picking. Do you also like smooth things in life? Smooth cars, edges, things in general? Sorry Im obviously a newbie, I will probably hav more questions! :)
