Excoriation Disorder (Skin-Picking Disorder)

In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I know this is a treatable mental health condition, not a lack of willpower.
    • I notice triggers such as boredom, stress, acne, or rough spots on my skin.
    • I keep my nails short and put picking tools, such as tweezers and pins, out of easy reach.
    • I gently clean sores and use dressings as my clinician directs.
