what is this?

i picked my nail about a week ago, i was covering it for a few days and i stopped wearing them over the weekend bc it was healed + i knew it would fall off at work. now it has a bump, it kinda hurts but only when i press it

Healing timeline for skin picking wounds/scars?

hey, first time posting here 🫶

i’ve struggled with skin picking since i was around 12. i mostly pick when i get eczema flareups or when there’s any texture/scab on my skin. i recently had a pretty bad episode and my legs are covered in spots right now.
i can’t really afford to see a dermatologist/doctor atm and i’m too broke to buy products/bandages/etc so i’m basically just rawdogging the healing stage lol 😭

for people who’ve had similar wounds/excoriations, how long did it take for the wounds/scabs to fully close? for the skin to feel smooth again? for the marks to fade enough that they weren’t super noticeable?

summer is coming up and i’m honestly scared i’ll have to spend another summer hiding in long skirts/pants. just looking for realistic experiences/reassurance from people who’ve been through this 💔
