If you are constantly picking or pulling the hair on your skin, you might want to consult your dermatologist or family doc . As for preventing the subsequent scarring, obviously avoiding the manipulation, the real source of the problem is best. As far as attempting to heal the traumatized areas, i would suggest using Aquaphor healing ointment 2-3 times per day to those sites.
