New Member Looking for Support

Hi everyone! I've recently decided that my face/body picking has to end. Currently I have red zits and marks over my chest, three big red marks that I have come to understand recently would not have been there if I hadn't picked at non-existent blemishes, and my back is scarred from years of "checking". I check my face in the morning and I check my body before a shower or bath and any red mark or irregularity must be picked at until something comes out of it or it bleeds. Then I have to continue to pick at it and make sure any scabs are picked off because I truly believe it makes the mark heal faster. I come from a home that really idealized picking at zits and I believe some combination of my newest red marks that are self made and my complete understanding of a client who picked at a self injury (I work at a psych unit for children) has let me see that I have a compulsion. I'm hoping to stop cold turkey and combine it with journaling and learning about my condition. Are there things that have worked for you? I know I can have good skin because I do all the right things (vitamins, water, moisturizer, good nutrition) and I want to make sure I am a mentally healthy person. Wow. Rambling. Thank you for your support!
