I’ve been picking my lips and scalp for 18 years. If I wear acrylic nails I will stop picking my scalp. But I have never managed to stop picking my lips.. until now! I haven’t touched them for a month thanks to a lot of willpower and Vaseline. But it’s like the skin won’t grow back. The outer layer just falls of after a day. I try to cut loose skin of with a nail tool so I won’t pick it of.

Does anyone have advice on something that will help the skin heal properly? My doctor wants to help me, but don’t know of anything.

I’m so proud of myself, but it feels kind of hopeless. Every hour of every day feels like a battle..
