Where to get help?
Hey everyone i just didovered this subreddit recently when I realised I have a problem to say.
Basically since I was a toddler ive picked scabs and its not just an every now and again idle thing it has always been constant as soon as I get scab I have to pick it.
TW: I used to self harm severely when I was a teenager and was wondering if that may be a factor.
Basically what has happened is I went to a doctors yesterday for a swollen leg with no injuries and the doctor told me it was an infection due to picking my scabs. I never really seen it as a problem until now, so im just wondering where could I find help and advice would it be my psychiatrist (if its a psychological issue) or would it be a more a medical issue and go to the doctor?
I really didn't think it was a problem but this infection is painful in my leg.
