No specific options: This is a difficult problem to treat. You're doing the right thing seeking anxiety treatment. In the meantime, you need to keep areas of skin injury clean and moist. You can use aquaphor or vaseline or antibiotic ointment to keep the areas moist. Clean and moist wounds heal more quickly and have a lower risk of scarring. I hope this information is helpful.
