Re: Advice please?
(Anonymous) 2014-04-22 03:22 am (UTC)(link)Your picked-at scab is likely leaking lymph, like a blister would because the skin underneath hasn't healed properly. It's going to be tender, but not sure if it's infected. Be on the lookout for the area feeling warmer to the touch than usual, swollen/puffy and painful not just on the skin surface but all round it. I suggest washing it with a mild soap and smearing on some antibiotic cream and a bandage to discourage yourself from picking at it.
In the meantime, when you get the urge to pick, channel it immediately into doing something else with your hands. This sounds dumb, but have you considered embroidery/cross-stitch? I'm somewhat prone to repetitive behaviors (though not scab picking) and it kind of helps.
