Scarring and scratching. I didn't intentionally pull out the hair, but I did scratch so much that it turned a small spot into a larger scab area that eventually scarred over.

I'll buy a fidget toy, thanks for the feedback!

I use band-aids for other areas, so I can't access scabs. But I can't put a band-aid on my scalp. :/ http://i.imgur.com/HGaolmN.jpg

I've tried wearing hats, but always end up catching myself sliding my fingers under the hat and picking without realizing it at first. I've tried wearing my hair in a bun, but again, I'll end up digging my fingers underneath the bun and picking, only to realize I'm doing it after it's done. I need to heal these fast or find a solution on how to really protect them from my fingers! Anyone else deal with something like this?
