Sorry embarrassing/gross question.
Sometimes my anxiety gets out of control I don't take medicine for it. But I also suffer from psoriasis on my elbows and scalp and I scratch and pick at it until it bleeds (especially scalp) Does anyone else suffer from this and is there a term for it? Sometimes i dont even notice im doing it but ill be thinking about a really stressful situation at the time. I see the psychologist doc in a couple weeks but looking for any advice?
Here is a link to an old thread that people still post to on the OCD forum

If you have time, you can kind of glance through it. I have posted a lot of times as the CL and others have posted what works for them but in the long run you do need to see a psychologist for this problem so I am glad you have an appointment. Take care.
