ANNIE ELAINEY, I have this issue where I obsessively pick at scabs, and when I’m forced to let them heal, they leave little brown circular scars. I have a ton of these scars all up and down my legs and even though I notice these scars, I continue to pick. It’s conflicting and I hate how they look but I can’t stop picking and help, please. :(

I have that habit too, actually! I have spots all over my arms, it used to bother me but not anymore and any new spots if I am ever bothered I can just find a way to accommodate for them, be it make up or scar creams, etc. Scab picking like any other habit is hard to break but not impossible, I’m of no help because I’ve never tried to stop, to this day if I get a scab, I pick at it. I would assume that one way to help would be to rub in anti-itch cream when you have the urge to scratch, but I recommend google searching some other ways :)
