About this listen

✨ Let’s talk about Excoriation Disorder (aka skin-picking). It’s more common than most people realize, and it’s important to understand what it is, why it happens, and how to manage it.

🔎 Causes: Often linked to anxiety, stress, or OCD.
⚠️ Symptoms: Repetitive picking at the skin, often leading to scarring, infections, or emotional distress.
💡 Treatment Options: Therapy, medication, stress-reduction techniques, and support groups can all make a huge difference.

Breaking the stigma starts with awareness + education 💙. If you or someone you know struggles with excoriation, remember—you’re not alone and help is available.
