Dermatillomania, also known as skin picking disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by the compulsive urge to pick at one's skin. This behavior can lead to noticeable skin damage, scarring, and infections. Individuals may pick at healthy skin, blemishes, or scabs, often as a way to cope with stress or anxiety. The condition is classified as a type of Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB) and can significantly impact a person's daily life and self-esteem. Treatment options include therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and support groups, which can help individuals manage their urges and develop healthier coping strategies.
