Picking My Acne

Naturally, I do not have very much acne. However, I pick anything remotely resembling acne or very small acne on my face, back, arms, and even legs. I spend about an hour to two hours picking these areas of my body every day. I can already tell that I'm attaining scars from my intense picking, and I want to stop this terrible habit. I am wondering what competing behaviors I could try to substitute for my picking? I don't know what to do, and I need an alternate behavior. Thanks for any suggestions, I will try pretty much anything in order to quit this awful behavior.

I have this too. I've tried a lot of things- therapy, coping skills, evening wearing face masks but the drive to do to it has to come from inside you. Everyday is a battle, sometimes you win and sometimes you loose but you can't let one loss keep you from victory. You can do it. I'm working on this too.
