Hi, I have terrible scars from ten years of dermatillomania. I understand I will have to live with these scars, but is there any treatment that can be done to improve appearance? I get a lot of hyperpigmentation and the old scars are raised and white.
I suffer from mild dermatillomania, and unfortunately, my legs and chest area have suffered the most. I have quite fair skin, sensitive and dry skin. The scars I have are from picking at ingrown hairs until they become scabs, leaving what I think is called hyperpigmentation, but just red/purple blemishes. Im not sure what to do, but I would absolutely love if I could find a solution to at least get them to fade a decent amount. (Scars on my chest are the same as on my legs pictured).
I have struggled with dermatillomania for years. Over the years Ive been better about not picking. I am now curious about what options I may have for scar removal. Ive used many creams, oils but have always been too ashamed to get professional help.
I am 26 years old and have peeled my lip for decades. I am convinced I have dermatillomania, and I now have this scar in the middle of my top lip! I hate it. I am down to picking my lip once a week, as I know now how to stop myself, but I want this spot to look better. As you can see from my picture, my top lip should have more brown where you see the pink spot in the middle. Please help! What can I do to make it look a bit better? Creams? Surgery? I want answers.
Warning, graphic pictures. I suffer from Dermatillomania/Skin Excoriation, and sadly I have relentlessly picked at my chest, shoulders, and stomach even which have caused many indented scars, some white spots, and dark spots. I was wondering if any treatment is available for this kind of scarring. I understand that I won't ever look 100% but I want to at least be able to wear normal tops and to go out and not have people ask me questions about my skin.
