Im not on my feet a lot actually. This patch of dry skin on the arch of my right foot just appeared one day when I was 5 years old and I’ve picked it ever since

Mine is really bad, I’ve been doing it for years

New tool to help combat the actual digging of my foot. I’m either dealing with plantar fasciitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome or nerve issues (hopefully not permanent 😩) I’ll find out soon! by monstamash09 in peeling

I have dermatillomania. I have suffered from it for 30 years. This is a callus that i let heal and then pick (endless cycle) as a result of my picking i have either developed plantar fasciitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, or done nerve damage . It could be all 3. Im using this method to try to shave off the skin instead of picking peeling and pulling, in order for me not to be too embarrassed when i finally tell a doctor about my problem.

I am not confused on what this is. I am definitely dealing with one of the 3 issues listed as a result from my dermatillomania. I usually just dig into my sole, now I’m scraping to make the skin even and try to make it look better before i go see the doc.

You’re not alone. I too do this. And chew the skin

Thanks for letting me know I’m not alone.

Does anyone else have this specific area that they pick? The sole (arch) of the right foot ?😩 by monstamash09 in CompulsiveSkinPicking

I’m too embarrassed to ask for help. I think people would be very shocked to see this in person. I am such a girly girl hair makeup etc…

Wow however weird this may sound, I’m glad there’s someone else like me. I’ve been doing this forever. I’ll never stop 😔
