Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Skin picking: This is likely a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Please see your doctor to make sure your sore does not get infected. You need to see a mental health professional such as a clinical psychologist. If OCD, a book called "The Body who Couldn't Stop Washing" by Rappaport can be helpful also. Peace and good health.
