Re: So embarassing…but skin picking, anyone?

When I was bored in class, I used to rub at my upper lip with my nail until I had a blister. Or I would use my teeth to rub at a bony part of a finger until a blister developed. I also pick anything and everything – dermatitis, nails, blisters, hair, nose, pimples, lips, scabs, head, sunburn (ooooohh, sunburn :mrgreen:). I cannot leave my skin alone.

My ADHD son is more of a larger scale fidgeter (not so discrete), and never picks his nails – he’d be lucky if he remembered to CUT them!!! He is more into the gum, tapping, pen clicking, leg jiggling, doodling, “tongue origami”, and just generally fiddling with things in his surroundings.
