Do any fish out there have excoriation disorder (chronic skin-picking)? I acquired this really bad habit while WFH and am starting to fear that I will not be able to kick it before going back on-site. My finger tips are always bleeding to some degree or missing skin lol. Might freak the client out. Would appreciate advice if anyone has kicked this habit.

Thank you! Will try. I currently use bandaids to prevent me from picking but I go through so many.

OCD is fun, isn’t it? From experience, if it’s not this, it’s plucking hairs or some other fidgety behavior. I’ve found that something that occupies my hands helps. For example, I crocheted a whole blanket throughout boring meetings Sept 2019-Nov 2019.

It also horrifies my girlfriend

Well I didn’t have a disorder (or so I think) but many years ago I would do this. I got a box of Kinect sand to keep my hands busy. I got nail clippers on my key chain.. first sign of skin peel, I’d clip it so it wouldn’t have anywhere left for me to ‘pick’. Further got a cuticle cream. I also got vit e and vit a otc and cleared it from my primary doc which in general stopped the skin around my nails from peeling.

I will try this. Thanks a ton!
