I have this....I've tried everything from gloves to nail and finger stuff that burns the absolute fuck out of you if you touch an open wound.
It was something that started just as OCD when I was younger. You unconsciously scratch and VOILA! Scab. Then you pick it cause hey, it's a scab right? Then it gets bigger and you can't half pick a scab right? Ya pick it cause you're bored or what ever and it never seems to quit...
Eventually I got depression and I would do it for the pain. I was told I was self mutilative and that was my way of "cutting" so to speak.
So just be careful. It's not a problem until you can't stop and it's disrupting or hurting/harming you.
