I like to make cuts on my lips and then pick at the cuts forever and never let them heal. And then I look like I have herpes all over my mouth! I don't have herpes, I MADE the wound myself. Ugh. I'm so gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-833740 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:13:30 +0000 daniellemybelle 833740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGH I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I just picked it again. What is wrong with me!? This thing is going to be hideous. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-827791 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:11:10 +0000 StbHisMrs 827791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes : I and I have eczema so it just makes matters so much worse. I wish I could stop!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-827781 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:04:15 +0000 HLK208 827781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not on my body but I HATE the look of a scab on my face. I hope that if I get it off, my skin will look normal again but that's usually not the case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-827773 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:59:06 +0000 Meridian 827773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad I'm not alone with my scab/zit picking problem... DH is used to seeing me hunched over the magnifying mirror popping zits. So lovely... but I pick his too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826995 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 12:25:48 +0000 daniellemybelle 826995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Haha! Ew! That is true love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826877 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:53:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 826877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: he likes it. Not kidding....he is a freak. He says, "just get it! hurry up!" and he turns his head away while I get it. EEEwww...saying it makes it too real. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826867 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:51:12 +0000 autumnlove 826867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, not since I was in elementary school! I liked ripping them off in big pieces! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826851 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:47:39 +0000 daniellemybelle 826851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really glad I'm not the only one! It's so weird - when I'm doing it, I feel like its the absolutely right thing to do, like I must do it. Then as soon as its over I feel horribly guilty and grossed out!</p> <p>I will say I don't pick zit scabs! Just scrapes and that sort of thing. And I don't pick DH's, @TurtleDoves - you win! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826655 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:59:13 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 826655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pick mine and I pick DH's. It is a disease. I can't control the urge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826596 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 10:39:52 +0000 swurlygurl 826596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, I'm SO bad about it. The worst was when I had bad acne as a teenager. I couldn't stop picking the zits OR the scabs... ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826420 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:53:03 +0000 Alivoo01 826420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, yup! I can't help it! =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826411 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:50:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 826411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: It never ever helps. Why do we keep doing it??? I even tell myself as I'm doing it, this is only going to make it worse. You know that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826408 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:49:39 +0000 MrsBrewer 826408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: same here with blemishes and pimples! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826406 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:49:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 826406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so gross and I cannot help it! I'm the worst with blemishes-- like, first I try to pop it, even though it 100% always makes it worse, then I keep picking at it when it inevitably forms a scab. I have so many scars on my knees from doing this as a child too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826381 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:44:24 +0000 kjpugs 826381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YEP. It's horrible but so satisfying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826373 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:43:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 826373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Always!! I hate it though, because once I pick a scab it will leave a scar there :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pick-scabs#post-826370 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:43:08 +0000 daniellemybelle 826370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a gross topic, but for some reason if I ever have a scab, I cannot stop myself from picking it! And then when it scabs again, I pick it again... I scraped my knee walking the dog a few weeks ago, and I have picked it probably 5 times now. :( The worst is that I scraped it right over a spot where I had a scrape 7 years ago. I picked that scab too so I had a horrible scar that was JUST starting to fade... and now I'm starting from scratch! I always regret it but I can't stop! </p>
