Ever since I can remember I have always loved picking scabs, due to this habbit I have a fair few scars.

Whenever I get a cut, even if it is tiny, I pick it and pick it for weeks-a month, literally untill this odd type of scab forms which is more like scar tissue and is very hard to pick.

I know it's a bad habbit, but I can't help it.

Is It Normal?

    I hate people that just come along and say it's bad you should stop, obviously I know it's not a good thing to do, that's why it hurts and bleeds. But I can't help doing it, I literally tell myself over and over again not to do it, but I just end up doing without even realizing or in my sleep, so please no stupid "don't do it" comments

    If it's a obsession or a compulsion, it could be dermatillomania. But if it's worrying you, maybe consulting a doctor might help.

    :s I know people like that but I imagine it makes you more liable to diseases, viruses, and infection.

    It's common but bad for you. So I suggest you stops.
