Dermatillomania, also known as skin picking disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by the compulsive urge to pick at one's skin, often leading to noticeable damage. Individuals may target specific areas, such as the face, arms, or scalp, and may pick at scabs, blemishes, or healthy skin. This behavior can result in infections, scarring, and emotional distress. The condition is classified as a type of body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) and is often associated with anxiety or stress. Treatment options may include therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and support groups to help individuals manage their urges and develop healthier coping strategies.
