does amyone else pick?

My arms, face, chest, legs anywhere I see a bump. I pick when I'm trying to fix things out of my control or to make me better. Like if I get rid of this spot ill be prettier or something. Dr said it was anxiety but I know its not. But its also not ocd or like cutting I'm not sure where it falls. Does anyone else do this and when do u or why do u if you know why

Ya she sd to distract myself and thinks I do it when I'm anxious. I do it sometimes wout realizing untill my face looks just awful.

[ILADVOCATE]

  I have at times more so in the past but I do my bext to avoid it but also this has improved since treatment helps more. If I have thoughts of doing this I will focus on something else such as cleaning up my apartment. This can occuring in obsessive compulsve disorder or if a person has obsessive thoughts but only a psychiatrist could state the exact reasons why. Follow up besides adjusting treatment can also include cognitive behavioral therapy. It would be worthwhile to discuss this with your psychiatrist.
