Does anyone else have Compulsive Skin Picking (CSP)?

Hey. I’ve recently found out that I have CSP. Yeah I suppose it may sound a bit silly, ‘conpulsive skin picking’ but it plays a major role in my life and I didn’t even know it was a medical ‘illness’ or whatever you want to call it. So does anyone here have CSP or know anymore info or of any support avalible?

Thanks!

Answer #1

Oh and to kathyrh69-

Basically its really strange- you start picking and its really addictive- you go into this trance like state. I could sit down and pick for hours, minutes or seconds but it seems the same because you lose all sense of the time. Strange huh?

Answer #2

Dear nothingness, It falls under the category of compulsion disorders. It can be treated as such with great success. See your doctor about the proper medications to help. Sometimes they will have you go to counselling to teach you behaviour modification. Simply put teach you to stop. Sue…good luck
