[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ordered this bracelet: https://habitaware.com/ Backordered, though.[/quote] okay, THIS is it. My DD does skin-picking in the form of face-picking. Skin-picking is a special category and has its own name (and not sure it's OCD related). The good news is it's actually not related to self-harm--it's not self-harming behavior, it's self-soothing behavior. This company has videos on this topic. The other thing I want to mention is to take NAC (N-A-C) which is OTC. It helps with skin picking (and hair twisting etc). It takes a month to work. 2400 mg. (two 600mg pills 2x day) plus supplement with Vit. B12. (This was advice by both my skin-picking DD's pediatrician, and my other DC's fantastic psychiatrist, when I was on a tangent and asked him about my DD's face-picking) Good luck, OP![/quote]
