Self Harm?

Hello, I have a problem where I pick my sores and won't let them heal.  I have done this since I was 12.  Is this self-harm?  How do I stop?  My body looks terrible.   Thanks.

I use to cut. I was in a DBT group and when I got urges to cut while in group I would pick my scabs.  If I did that the leaders of the group considered it self-harm and would bring me to the crisis center.  I takes a lot of work and learning other skills that you will actually use to stop hurting yourself, but it can be done.  I cut and burned and picked for 10 years and have recently gone 8 months without it.  I still get urges, but after going this long I don't want to get in that habit again.  Good luck!
