Any suggestions please for products which would help reduce the appearance of scars on arms and legs, which you might have used? I have a skin picking disorder (also known as Excoriation Disorder or Dermatillomania which is a psychological condition) where I pick my skin as I find it soothing when I’m distressed. Unfortunately it’s left my skin looking dreadful. I wear jeans and long sleeves as much as possible to cover it. I dread the warmer weather during spring-summer as i am always hot and bothered covering my body from head to toe.

Hi. I would try a silicone cream. They can be quite expensive but I think Superdrug do a reasonable own brand one.

First of all I want to extend my love to you, I know a habit is hard to stop and sometimes you just can't help it. My advice is use a scar remover like bio oil and use a deep moisturiser to help the skin and get rid of the spots. In the mean time try to distract yourself whenever you feel the urge to do so. Baby steps but you will get there eventually. Your skin will clear up on no time, the hardest bit it to try to not pick. All the best❤️
