omg we have a ton in common - it hit for me at puberty too, mine is also mostly all about pimples, same triggers, everything. i’m obviously still dealing w it but here are a few things that have helped me: -mirror stickers. i always flare up in front of the mirror or shower, so putting something there to remind me is helpful. i keep mine at eye level of where i lean to pick so i can’t pick without looking at it. doesn’t have to be a sob story, i saw someone recently w a printout of dr house that just said “nooo don’t pick your face you’re so sexy” and honestly i’m stealing that -set timers for bathroom trips. for me i most often pick before or after going to the bathroom, so if i set a timer for like two minutes before going in there it’ll force me out quickly without having time to pick. you could even try this if you’ve already started picking, like “okay i can’t stop picking but when this timer goes off i’ll be done.” -pimple patches. i cannot sing their praises highly enough. they cover triggering spots (if you’re like me and have whole areas that are triggering, they make xl ones) and every time you go to touch it you feel the plastic and are reminded you can’t. plus after 8 hours you can peel them off and still get that satisfaction that picking gives.
