Skin-picking as self-soothing: is emotion regulation the missing piece? 🩹
Adults with skin picking (excoriation) disorder show higher emotion dysregulation 📊, lower distress tolerance 😔, and trouble naming their feelings.
Could DBT 🌱 or ACT 💬 help? 🔍

tw self harm (compulsion)
gf caught me in the middle of ripping off one of my nails. i'm so embarrassed. and missing a nail. ouch. i am glad for the interruption to the xyz-tillomania i'm lost to at the moment but i always feel so much shame when someone else notices me hurting myself.

sometimes i feel like a walking freak show. i cannot wait for group tomorrow. i've been waiting a month for it. it's the only place i've really ever felt seen for my disorders. it's helped immensely in not feeling incredibly alone, even if it's only via zoom

I was not a thumb sucker as a child, so please tell me why I can't maintain skin on my thumbs currently?! I chew, they hurt, I bandage them up and scold myself. Soon as the bandage comes off, CHOMP. #anxiety #bfrb

a freckled and scabbed white arm with a tattoo film partially unpeeled on it
hey folks, it's the holy grail of #SkinPicking deterrents: tattoo film!~ way fuckin' better than bandaids or bandages or even silicon strips. it stayed on through my sleep. the edges are shrinking in a bit, so give yourself some margins. but yeah, wow A+

Picuture showing forthcoming book, called 'Keep your hair on: understanding urges to pick, pull and bite' by Clare Mackay, which will be launched in April 2026
Big news!
I loved researching and writing this book, which is all about shedding the shame, and getting really curious about urges to pick, pull and bite.
I can't wait to share it with you! It's out on April 2nd, and is available to pre-order now.

so it's become super apparent that the worst times for picking for me are when i'm winding down for the night and getting ready to go to sleep, and when i first wake up.

yesterday, i had one of the hardest dissociation episodes i've had in years. i had so much anxiety, i couldn't stop. i couldn't eat. i wasn't able to function for most of the day, instead trapped in my body. in another world where nothing else exists. #ocd #dermatillomania #bfrb

literal pictures of me trying to embrace vulnerability, wearing my #ocd scars and imperfections without shame or embarrassment.
i ran into my good friend, their partner, and their baby.

New face coverings to help with the #dermatillomania, or #SkinPicking #BFRB #OCD issues. I should probably wash the factory stink off them but they are otherwise tolerable. Could stand to be softer though. Dear Universe, you listening? Super soft face masks, please. #ForReasons
