Skin picking disorder (SPD) is a mental disorder that is characterized by the repetitive picking of skin and mucous membranes. The disorder typically begins in early adulthood and can persist for many years. SPD can be very disabling, causing significant emotional distress and disability. There is no known cure for SPD, but treatment options are available that can help people manage the condition.
There is no one cause of SPD, but it appears to be related to problems with mood and anxiety. People with SPD often have a history of mental health problems, including depression and anxiety disorders. They may also have an obsessive personality trait or a psychological condition that increases their risk of developing SPD, such as body dysmorphic disorder or Tourette’s syndrome.
Skin picking treatment depends on the person’s specific needs and goals. Some natural treatments include medication, therapy, and self-help strategies. You should speak with your doctor to see what would be the best treatment for you.
