Look up dermatillomania- skin picking.

OP: No, this is different. I do do sorts of things like that, but at different times. Not my skin though; I pull out my eyelashes and rub at my scalp when I'm under mild stress or even just as a nervous habit.

I want to say that I am in no way a doctor etc but here's what I know
Pulling up hair is called trichotillomania. Rubbing your scalp could be a nervous habit. Skinpicking/hair pulling are basically just nervous habits, a way to deal with stress.
the line where it stops being a habit and becomes a disorder is when it starts to affect daily life- like if it hurts too much to walk etc etc
What I'm trying to say is you're probably fine unless you cause an infection or have large bleeding holes in your skin from picking

I forgot to say: I do this myself. When I'm stressed, I can take the entire top layer of skin off the bottoms of my feet in a few days, and I cut callouses off my hands. Your behavior just seems similar to mine so I thought I'd share what I know.
Good luck!
