Dermatillomania
For the past two months i've been picking and tearing the skin off my lips to the point where it's bleeding. it started off because i was bored but now it's become more than a hobby and it's gotten to the point where i cannot stop doing it, half the time i don't even realize i am. i've never been diagnosed with ocd, but i do have adhd, could it be a symptom of that? and if so, would it still be considered dermatillomania?

Seek the help of a counsellor who can help you deal with your urges. It is an unhealthy habit that you need to break. Find things to keep you busy & do indulge in healthy activities like sports, etc.
