So I'm a 21 year old girl who really loves wearing dresses and skirts but I have this horrible problem picking at my legs. Sometimes it'd get really bad and I'd use tweezers or pins.
Last week I broke down sobbing and told my parents my problem. I was so devastated I couldn't wear all my summer clothing and always had to wear spandex or long jeans.
To help me, my mom hid all the tweezers and pins in the house so I couldn't use them. Then they took me to CVS and I got first aid cream and rubbing alcohol. So I think the first thing you should do is tell someone who can offer you support with stopping.
Secondly, find the reason why you're picking. I did it because I would feel little ingrown hairs and couldn't keep my mind off it until I plucked them out. Everytime I want to do it now, I shave my legs. Afterwards, I realize if I would've picked, they would look really awful.
Third, believe you can stop, because you can! It's all up to you!
Hope this helped
