Do I have some sort of compulsive disorder or something?
I have had acne for many years. Since I was like in 6th grade up until now, and I'm turning 23 this April. I can never not pick on my acne, pimples, or blackheads. I find it hard to not touch my face at all. I don't think I can go a month without at least picking on one pimple. My sister used to pick on her pimples too, but stopped many years ago, and she started taking better care of her skin and her face is clearer now than when she was younger. Do you think I may have some sort of compulsive disorder?

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Its just a little habit you have. You have to discipline yourself, like a smoker, and stop.
If you did it 20 times a day, that would be a compulsion. Doing it once a month doesn't seem a lot to me.I stopped picking at pimples when I stopped having pimples.I still will pick at a blackhead, if I have one, but its not all that often.
I did the same thing aswel, it stopped once my acne disappeared around my 25th birthday. It might be natural to pick at things such as pimples, scabs, etc. because I know tons of people that do.
Maybe you do, and even if you do, you still have to learn to stop picking your face.There's no magical drug that will make you stop picking your zits.
If you truly can't stop picking at your acne and spend lots of time at the mirror doing this everyday then yes.People with ocd who pick like this are categorized as pickers.Only a doctor can tell you for sure.
Probably OCD. If you pick at scabs and actually create sores just to pick them as well that would be self injury.
Dunno but I'm 20 and do it too D:
