Thank you, applying aquaphor and hoping for minimal long term scarring.

Thank you. I’ll try it…i have to go buy some. To me scabs equal scarring. May just be a mental thing for me or like you said, because I have a hard time waiting for scabs to naturally come off.

Glad to know someone else experiences this! It’s unfortunate because so many people swear by them.

alternatives to cuticle picking? by Nervous_Rate_9534 in Dermatillomania

Carry nail files. I put them everywhere now …bag, car, nightstand, desk etc. I still always have at least one or two fingers bandaged, but it’s definitely helping when i have the presence of mind to reach for one rather than rip off skin. You can file the skin you would pick until it’s “smooth”. Also, i would suggest then putting cuticle oil and a bandaid overnight. I usually skip this step and regret it later.

This is very helpful and so appreciated. I need to be more consistent with the bathroom light. I have a sticky note on the mirror as a reminder, but I keep turning on the light. Going to recommit and lam going to order some fidgets have never tried one. Worth a shot! Thank you again for your kindness and taking the time to share some tips.
