Sorry to hear about your relapse, a week is a good amount of time, though! I’m definitely not perfect, and tend to pick when I’m home all day too, however, lately I’ve found these (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077TJHWWY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) helpful when I’m home or I put on a honey mask so that I physically can’t pick.
More recently, I have found journaling every morning about my picking from the day before and writing down my goals for today very helpful. A lot of it consists of talking myself back up, because as everyone on this sub I’m sure knows, the shame after picking can be brutal... So I try and write about forgiving myself and remind myself to not be so hard on myself and not expect to go from 0 to 100 in a week. I am bound to relapse and that’s part of recovery. The point is you keep trying and before you know it the days that you didn’t pick will outweigh the ones that you did.
Good luck to you!
Hey now, there are plenty of legitimate reasons out there worthy of self-hatred, like not liking dogs or being racist or eating pineapple on pizza, but this isn't one of them!
I pick my fingers and sometimes mine look this bad too. Personally I like these band aids (they're thinner so they breathe better & dry faster when you wash your hands but stay on longer) and these gel-ish finger covers. Both are good as a preventative measure for me.
Have you ever tried keeping the area moisturized? That has seemed to help me recently when it comes to picking my skin. Whenever I feel an urge to pick at my arms & legs I will usually try to distract myself from the thought as well (which isn’t always easy). I find sometimes it helps to reward myself with things like a good meal, materialistic things, etc when I haven’t picked in a while. It gives me more incentive to not want to pick and it makes me feel better about myself when I can see progress.
I remember someone linking these little finger cots to try and prevent picking. I haven’t used these personally, but I have seen them recommended on this subreddit and I’ve highly considered purchasing them myself.

Would also recommend trying something like a fidget device to distract your hands whenever you feel an urge come on.
