Tell me I'm not alone and help me shed some light on this BAD habit

Does anyone pick at their face?

I don't pick zits....just black/whiteheads and I always cover my fingers in tissue, but I'm not the facialist and I shouldn't do it. I don't have any scars from doing it from what I can see; I guess I'd already know. Ugh. I'm SO undiagnosed OCD!

Okay, you are not alone.

Me and my two sisters are like this. You should have seen my house when we were all teenagers---we were constantly doing it to eachother Chat Icon

Now I just attack my DH since my face is actually pretty clear and I don't often have anything to pick at. One of the perks to being married to me I guess ... he hates it but puts up with it.

Whew!

I always cover my finger in tissue. But I need to stop. I must do it once a week. No scarring that I can see. My skin is clear and I get right up in the mirror and remove anything I can find. That's the curse of large pores.

I pick my face, pick my cuticles

its disgusting

my nails have a gel wrap on them so they are not as sharp, per se, so it cut down on my picking..but i still do it

On occasion, I've operated on myself.Chat Icon

In terms of scarring, I am MUCH more careful about picking after 35. There is not a doubt in my mind that I no longer heal as quickly as I once did - which would definitely lead to scars.

I was on Accutane a few years ago and it helped sooo much. But now that I am not on BCP anymore - my face is a mess again! I pick too - I know I shouldn't, but I can't stand blackheads & whiteheads!

Chat Icon Me too...

I am a picker - at least you wrap your finger in tissue. I was actually just picking at my chin when I clicked on this post. Chat Icon I cna't stop - I spend at least 15 minutes a night all up in my mirror with my blackhead/whitehead/pimple-popping tool. It is almost like I'm addicted...

I do this to myself, but I also do it to DH. He gets so mad but I cant help myself. I cant sit there calmly knowing that there is "surgery" that I need to be performing on his face. He'll be talking to me and then finally he says things like "Fine, just do what you need to do. I can see your not even listening to me."

ditto - a couple years ago, I pulled a stitch out of my knee....a 20 YEAR OLD STITCH- I had stitches in that spot when I was 2. Growing up, I always had a weird bump in my knee, but everyone always told me it was a vein or something. WHen I was 21, I had enough of the bump and went in with a sterilized pin and tweezers....and sure enough, retrieved a longggg stitch. Guess the Dr. missed it. Chat Icon

ETA: I try to stay away from my face though
