The disorder is called Dermatillomania. People who do this are 90% women and 10% men.
Compulsive picking is only a symptom of a deeper illness taking place inside you. You cannot stop picking by treating the symptoms - you need to treat the cause.
Common causes of compulsive skin picking are:
- Stress, anxiety and other psychological factors.
- Neurological imbalance caused by overloading stress to the nervous system.
- Chemical imbalance.
- Traumatic events, particularly in childhood.
- Heredity (oftentimes it runs in the family).
These are the main reasons. For more reasons there are great resources on the internet, a great guide that describes skinpicking and stopping skin picking at www.skinpick.com, and if you have a serious problem you may want to seek professional help such as a psychologist or Doctor Who can assist you in providing documentation and overall care.
