Neurotic
Excoriation or excessive skin-picking, although intended with the motivation
to improve one's appearance, often goes out of control, becomes excessive,
and frequently results in significant damage to the skin. Individuals with
this disorder are at risk for infection and scarring. Often there is significant
social impairment due to the sufferer's shame over the self-inflicted physical
damage produced by the picking behavior. |
