Description
If living with skin rashes weren't enough, compulsive skin picking triggered by those rashes makes everything worse. It makes your level of shame go through the roof and can have a bunch of other unintended negative impacts on your life. This condition, known more formally as Dermatillomania, is on the OCD spectrum. And it can cause extra damage to your skin that goes beyond what the rashes will cause. This is a personal topic because skin picking is something that I live with daily. I considered creating an episode on this topic for a few months, but my own personal shame (that I'm working on) kept me afraid to share. Recently, I decided that helping just one person not feel alone was more valuable than getting this vulnerable with you. So if you're dealing with Dermatillomania (skin picking) because of your rashes, or supporting someone who is, I hope that you find this episode enlightening.
