It's just such a habit and I actually feel that it helps!!! At times I will leave a zit, ingrown hair, whitehead, or blackhead but it just doesn't go away!!! Days and days will pass and it's stays just there!!! Sometimes the spot will be sore because of the pressure underneath it that it kills me and just drives me nut and it looks so gross and then I sanitarily will go at it and then just feel such a sense if relief! I mainly do the to any regularly exposed skin like my face and arms... Is it normal to want to so intensely want to pick at skin imperfections!!?! ?!!

    It's OCD. My sister and I are both pickers and so was my dad. Either leave it alone or go to the dermatologist. you can get a nasty staph infection .
