How can I lighten my dermatillomania scars? (Photo)

April 15, 2021
Asked By:skinhelp27 in Texas, TX

I have struggled with dermatillomania for years. Over the years I’ve been better about not picking. I am now curious about what options I may have for scar removal. I’ve used many creams, oils but have always been too ashamed to get professional help.
