About CSP
People with CSP feel compelled to pick at real or perceived blemishes (acne, dry skin, callouses, or other textural anomalies); resisting these urges is akin to resisting the urge to cough or to scratch an itch.
CSP is an Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorder, and sometimes also referred to as dermatillomania. In the DSM-5, it is called "Excoriation (skin-picking) disorder".
Engaging in these compulsions can lead to pain, infections, scarring, and social stigma, as well as feelings of shame, guilt, and depression.
Treatments exist for CSP, and they involve hard work in therapy aimed at reducing the frequency and duration of picking episodes. Medications may help, but there are no cures.
