I have never picked at my face but I have picked at my head and unfortunately still do.  I also have tendency to pick at scabs slowing down their healing.  As far as advice I can't tell you how to fix it just wanted to let you know you were not alone.  I don't know if there is a better forum for you but you may get more responses on Depression, OCD, or some of the other forums.  You can keep this and gather information but I would also post it on the other forums....It may help.
Good Luck
