Is It Time to See a Doctor for Dermatillomania (Compulsive Skin Picking)?

Question by No Fate but what we Make: Is it time to see a doctor for dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking)?
Ever since I was 10 (Im 14 now) I have been picking at my skin. I always pick my mosquito bites and cuts and scraps. I just cant help myself! I dont like to wear shorts anymore because now people will be like “Oh my gosh why would you pick your mosquito bites thats gross!” or “Jeez it looks like your legs got shot”. My own mom told me it looks like Im recovering from some funky disease and how awful my legs look.
Should I tell her that I’m 99.9% postive that I have CSP? If I do, what is the treatment?

Thanks

Oh and Ive also had urges to pick other peoples skin…I know its gross but I just do (I havent though.)
And I just do it at random times..when Im bored, in the bathroom, whe im stressed angry, just whenever.

Is it time to see a psychiatrist?

they wont have any way to help you but give you very strong drugs that make you sit there like a zombie and probably still do it. ther’es really not much to do but try not to do it.
