How to stop picking at acne?! Plz help!?
I am 14 years old, and I have been getting horrible acne. My horrible habit is that I keep picking at it! No matter how hard I try I can’t stop picking. I don’t even realize when i am doing it! My face looks just horrible, but I love the feeling I get when I start picking! I know that if I keep picking I will get scars and it just is horrible, BUT I JUST CAN’T SEEM TO STOP NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY! I am using acne products, but do you guys have any ideas of what I can do to relax myself instead of picking? Something my hands can do? I have tried some things like playing with my hands and distracting myself with other activities in school, but it still doesn’t STOP ME!
P.S. I think I pick so much, because I have had problems with anxiety, I don’t know if this will help, thanks!

Bring like a quarter to school and fiddle with it this will give you something to concentrate on and give your hands something to do
go to a dermotologist and get it taken care of, then you’ll have nothing to pick. or u can get one of those little techdeck mini skateboards and play witht hat all day idk?
i used to have this same exact problem alllll last year. my parents were getting divorced so i had a lot of problems with anxiety. i used to pick my acne too & it sucked cause i would do it in school and it would start bleeding, and even before one came up if i felt it i had to pick at it.
if your doing it at school, you should try sitting next to a guy you like. lol. thats what i did. and i didnt pick at my face cause he would think it was gross. and i started to text in class. and i started to bite my cuticles and nails. but that habbit i think is better then picking acne.
but you should try using neutrogena oil free acne wash. that works for everyone that i know. or try skin ID.
