It happens: Excoriation is just another name for a scrape. It implies fingernails as the agent, but is not a diagnosis. If you pick, rub, scratch at your skin it is often labeled a neurodermatitis, which is a label we use for a nervous habit. It is similar to nail biting, hair pulling or other similar habits.

Skin Picking: can be a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Please see your doc to have your skin examined. If treatment is not needed or not effective, please see a clinical psychologist to be evaluated for OCD. Peace and good health.
