21f, i have been picking my skin for years now and want to put an end to it. my skin looks nasty af, and covering it up with bandaids look weird. i am forced to wear long sleeves and pants even during hot weather because of this. this has also affected how i look at myself. i often end up feeling that i wont be loved because of how i look. i have even decided to maybe cover these marks up with tats in future but i gotta stop picking my skin to begin with .

the worst part is that i still end up doing it even when i am well aware that i should be avoiding it. will consulting a psychiatrist help , are there any medications for this?
