Re: Help Me Please! I Cant Stop Picking!

I agree with Idealist that your picking may be caused by OCD disorder. However medications do not lessen OCD behaviour such as picking. You have to train yourself to stop picking.

Unhappy Re: Help Me Please! I Cant Stop Picking!

i got weak and poked at about 6 ones. i finally got myself to stop, and thank God I did, otherwise I would have caused so much more damage. i went exactly 2 weeks and 1 days without poking. it was great. i let other people bring me down when they either make fun of me about acne. thats what puts me in this horrible depression...its so tough.

Don't feel down...just start over. When you are starting a new "habit" (not picking), you may faulter. Day one starts now! You did it before, you can do it again!

Re: Help Me Please! I Cant Stop Picking!

I just kind of wanted to bring this thread back to life since no one was posting anymore. It has been awhile since iVe poked.

I have switched from Doxycycline and Benzamycin to Minocycline and Retin a micro. I switched dermatologists because I was fed up with the one I was at. It was a horribly run office. I like the one I am at now, so I hope it will work out.

Has anyone had any experience with microdermabrasion? I am thinking of having it done for my marks...

Thanks!

Tony
