Dermatillomania, also known as skin picking disorder, is a psychological condition that involves the recurrent and compulsive picking of skin, resulting in tissue damage. There are several synonyms for this disorder, including excoriation disorder, neurotic excoriation, skin picking disorder, and pathological skin picking. While the condition primarily affects the skin, it can also lead to emotional distress and interfere with daily functioning. Individuals with dermatillomania often experience shame and embarrassment, making it difficult to seek help. Treatment options include cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication. It is essential to recognize and seek appropriate treatment for this disorder to minimize the potential for long-term damage to the skin, mental health, and overall well-being.
