I started picking my scabs one day when I was very young (9 years) and I was kind of bored. Since then it has escalated severally. I have scars all up and down my legs from previous sores. I have began self harming just so I can later pick at the scab. I often have to excuse myself from school and public places to go to the bathroom and pick my scabs. I don't know why I do this, I guess I get some sense of relief from doing it. If I don't pick at one of my scabs for a little, I start to get anxiety that only goes away once I have picked at that scab. I don't know how to stop this behavior.
