It's really becoming a problem here. For some reason, I'm obsessed with picking at my scalp. I can't help it. I just pick out little pieces of dry skin and pull them out of my hair. Before I take a shower I even look in the mirror and look through my hair to try to find pieces I can scratch out. I know how gross it sounds but I can't stop. It's even got to the point where I pick at my scalp until it bleeds. I have scabs ALL over the top of my head. Is this some type of OCD I have (I heard that somewhere)? Or maybe a side effect of my depression (I heard that somewhere too)? How can I stop? PLEASE HELP ME!!
Why do I pick my scalp all the time?
JUST USE A MOISTURIZING OR ANTIDANDRUFF SHAMPOO

when you catch yourself doing it stop and put something on your head or brush your hair instead.trim your nails real short
when you look in the mirrow say im not going to do it.And get into the shower

Maybe put on fake nails so it doesn't feel the same, and you just wont have a desire to do it anymore. Wear a hat at home to remind yourself to STOP. I hope you can overcome it. Good luck with it!
Why do I pick my scalp all the time?
yes it is a form of OCD, most likely. Compulsive skin picking or dermatillomania. It is caused by anxiety and stress. By picking, you are releasing your anxiety/tension.
Stopping is easier said than done. Maybe go talk to a therapist. That might help.
Just know you are not alone.
Good luck.
