I've been skin picking for years.
It started by picking at the dead skin on the soles of my feet and then it became worse and worse ... to the point that walking to go to work was nearly impossible.
I'm still doing it but, in my opinion, to a lesser extent. I've been struggling to at least keep it to one foot and leave the other clear. I don't go as deep either ... so blood is rarely involved.
I find that I'm most likely to do it while watching tv ... so I try to do something else at the same time like surfing the net and such. I also revert to it if I'm super stressed.
