Hey guys, thanks so much for reading my question. I am currently trapped in my house because I picked horribly last night and all of my neighbors are drinking outside. Unfortunately I can't just walk out and avoid them, they're always harassing me and it's especially cruel when I pick. As many of you understand, I have severe anxiety and depression and I've compulsively picked since puberty. I now only happens severe episodes every once in awhile. Can someone please help me make it less noticeable? My face is swollen and I look like I have welts. I can sort of cover it up with makeup but the scabs show and the lumpiness. Please, my dog really needs to go for a walk and I have clothes to hang. Thank you!
Ice can help with the swelling and some neosporin. I've been picking too when there is pus and now i have red marks that look like active acne. My pimples are also coming up in the same areas repeatedly. Ibprufen can help with inflammation and benadryl for welts if its an allergic reaction.
Stay Strong
