scalp picking

[sunshinefunk]

Hey all,
I've never thought of myself as a scalp picker, but now I don't know. On the back of my head I have these scab-like bump things. It's hard to explain. I find myself picking them all the time. I don't know why. Maybe because they won't come off, like they are stuck there.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is this what most scalp pickers have?

Your story sounds like mine. I've been picking for many years but now...it's out of control. I pick sometines 16 hrs. a day. Mostly on the back of my scalp.

Hi sunshine,
I am a fully fledged scalp picker, but I can't say I know what you are talking about, but then I'm normally concentrating more on the hairline and top of my head. Do they hurt?
I do sometimes get strange bumps and things and lumps but not that I could pick at, kindof under my skin.

It's strange I feel very skilled at my scalp picking, it's a pity it's not a useful skill that could make me a living since i've invested so much time in it!
oh well,
take care x

Hey I am sorry this is probably soo rude to do but I really dont want to make an acount and need to post somewhere...

Also thanks for this site if not I dont know what id do

I will first start by saying i am 13
and i just started picking a little while ago maybe two or three weeks. When I was little i used to pull out my hair cause mt to get a little bald spot
It went away in time but then there was little prickly hairs where my bald spot used to be so I picked, and picked. and now there is like scabs there and I really cant stop like picking them they hurt some times and stuff and its not like I wanted i just got a strange pleasure from it. and its getting bad luckily my hair can cover it but I am not sure for how long. the other day was wacthing a movie with this guy who likes me and like him so I rested my head on his shoulder and he began to rub my head and then I didn't no what to do so I was like "That feels weird dont.."
I pick sometimes in class to I wonder if people notice and then alone at home I just really really want it to stop... It hurts so bad some times...
Just wondering if there are some tips I read something like covering my head in towel I'll try it right now.
