I second Sebamed already mentioned here! The one I use is more of a gel with aloe in it. Afterwards put a super thin layer of Vaseline on - it’ll help seal the moisture in to help heal the area and it’ll keep you from bugging it since it’s a little slimey.

If the area has any open wounds look into hydrocolloid bandages! Make sure the area is freshly clean with no ointments/lotions/serums before putting them on. You can keep them on for 3-7 days and even shower with them on! I prefer the gel-like ones over the tegaderm sheets (which are more like adhesive plastic wrap).

I read online somewhere that it helps to think about how bad you’ll feel after picking. I always feel super guilty after so that helps me stop sometimes.

Hydrocolloid bandaids also help me a lot when im trying not to pick. They come in patches but I cut up these and it comes out cheaper:

I try to hide my blemishes from myself when I’m at home not wearing make up by spot treating with masks. It helps when I’m “scanning” for blemishes. Also worth noting that I have oily to normal skin and I wear the mask as a spot treatment overnight with no ill effects. I use this one;

Picking leaves me with hyperpigmentation so I use glycolic acid to fade them faster. It makes your skin more susceptible to the sun so sunscreen is a must. I use this little tube of glycolic acid. It lasts me a month because I use it every third day or so.

*Finally, for texture, I’ve used a 1.5 mm dermaroller. I purchased mine on amazon, but it can be dangerous. After a certain length of needle, it is recommended you see a professional. Unfortunately these longer lengths really help with scars(permanent changes in skin texture). It might be worth looking into.

Play dough, slime, slinkies, and squeeze balls!

Play dough is probably the cheapest and easiest to obtain out of all of these products. Also, this amazon box has a lot of things my therapist has in her office to fidget with during sessions. It’s ~$18 but it has a lot of good products in it!

I found a weird one - Hawaiian Moon lotion. Ridiculously expensive, but you really don't have to use a lot.

I’m a picker and I recently bought these on Amazon. They are really helping with the picking. I pick when I am asleep, and I put these on the affected area before I go to sleep. Haven’t been picking at night.

That polish is legit the nastiest thing ever and you will 1000% think twice before putting your hand in your mouth. I mean even if they just freeze your lips momentarily that taste is stuck with you.

My bf didn't have the patience to keep telling me either so he sneaks and does this every couple of weeks or whenever he notices that I'm putting my hands in my mouth too much. It's the worst surprise the next day when you just wanna do something casual like... Lick your fingers after a delicious and messy taco but I 🤷🏽‍♀️ the man gets results.

Hi, I’m so sorry that your girlfriend is going through this. What has helped me when I first started out. as my picking issue was with acne and extracting pus is that after the shower and ONLY after the shower if a pimple has bursted while I showered, I would gently extract the rest of the gunk, using gloves and two pieces of tissue. I could only do this to ONE pimple of my choosing; if it didn’t have any gunk then that was it, game over. My sister helped me out a lot with this as she over shadowed me to keep me disciplined so that I would overstep my boundaries and pop anymore then the pimple I chose during he first few weeks. Not gonna lie, it was tuff at first but then, it helped as I progressively started seeing results. The more I got into my skin picking journey. I started getting even more serious after about 3 weeks in and bought a tangle therapy toy that kept my hands busy. I bought 3 one of them was on me at all times, and the other 2 were wherever I spent majority of my time. I also figured out my triggers. For ex: I would tend to pick when I lost control of a situation or when I had a problem that did not go my way. I signed a no skin picking contract, and posted them on every mirror; when I felt I was about to pick or caught myself picking I took in 3 deep breaths and asked myself the questions that where on the on the no skin picking contract by this time I was no long interested in picking no picking contract and every night at then end of the day I would put a check mark on my daily habit calendar , the more check marks I seen the more I became inspired to not pick so that I wouldn’t break my streak. What helps me with scars is the cosrx centella blemish cream it works on any scar or blemish/scab and with exfoliation Either use the this or that now if she is unable to use a scrub due to jerk skin being sensitive this enzyme mask is really nice I also used hydrocolloid patches, I bought the large thin ones and cut them up (it’s cheaper this way) I also keep all my finger nails really short and would cover the tips of my fingers that I use to pick with bandaids. So far this routine has really helped. I hope you find some things in here useable and if all else fails therapy could really aid In controlling this issue or nipping it in the butt all together goodluck!❤️
