Picking Acne
My acne is cystic and under the skin but I can't stop picking at them. They are so painful when I leave them, too. I think a lot of it is mental, like when I'm stressed/anxious/overwhelmed etc. I always feel awful and full of regret after a popping session (yuck it feels gross to even think about it) yet I can't stop, even when I catch myself in the moment. My skin makes me feel ugly, and my scabs that form after I pick embarrass me, but WHY CAN'T I STOP???
