Wow it has a name...Dermatillomania

I have no idea how long I've been "picking" at my skin but I know its been most of my life. I didn't even realize I had a problem until people started noticing the scars, the red bumps, etc. One of my friends noticed I was squeezing little bumps on my arm and she snapped "Stop that, you look like you have aids or something with all those bumps on your arms". At first, I just shrugged it off and continued to pick. Then my parents and even my X husband would scold me if they caught me picking and say "Look at your arms, your mutilating yourself". I pick at my face in the morning for almost an hour and then my arms usually whenever I'm bored and my breast. My boyfriend told me tonight "You think that is attractive? Bumps all over your breast?". I'm glad he said it b/c It made me stop and realize. Wow, I have real problem here. I notice it does keep me entertained when bored. Not only that but its almost like I have to rid any tiny bump or blackhead from my face. It made me think of people who pull their hair out until they have bald spots. That is exactly what this is. Its a disease and I if I don't want to look like a burned victim...I need to get help. My boyfriend said "Well, just stop" if it were only that easy. Sometimes, you don't even realize your doing it until someone draws your attention to it. Even right now, I'm tempted to pick. I need help and I'm really glad I found this site.
