So I've been dealing with CSP for 8 years now. I saw a psychiatrist a couple of months ago about it. He prescribed me Celexa, an antidepressant, and though it has done wonders for me (I love life now and don't have suicidal thoughts everyday) it did not help with my skin picking. I stopped seeing him but I've made an appointment on Thursday to get help with my CSP again. We are going to try Habit Reversal Training. I called the OCD Los Angeles centre because they specialize in CSP, but I live in Canada and it's only an outpatient treatment centre. I couldn't go into work last Friday because I made a serious mess of my face. I told my boss that I had an obsessive compulsive disorder and she understood. I also went to my family doctor. He knows I have CSP but never new the extend of damage I cause myself before Friday. He could not beleive what I had done to my face. He told me he wished I could just stop doing it. I told him I can't on my own. But anyways the whole reason why I am writing this thread is to tell you about this miracle cream the doctor prescribed for me. It's callled FUCIDIN H CREAM. It's a very strong antibiotic cream. I call it my miracle cream because It's healed scabs, sores, infections on my face within a couple of days which normally would have taken a couple of weeks. I want all of yous to go to your family doctor and get him/her to prescribe this stuff to you. Take care.

Careful...fucidin h contains both an antibiotic AND hydrocortisone. You really shouldn't be applying hydrocortisone to broken skin.

I went to the OCD center in Los Angeles. Unfortunatly it did not work for me and I did not have the money to cintinue for morwe than 5/6 sessions. I have been picking my face for almost 16 years. It gets worse and worse. I hate going out in public, it is ruing my relationship with my husband. I feel like I have tried everything. Different anti-depressents, habit -revesal traing, etc. It just really sucks. I pick everywhere, in public bathrooms, dressing rooms, friends& families homes, in the car mirror anywhere I can see my reflection.
