Does anyone pick their skin/acne out of anxiety? As can be expected from being on T, I have acne on my face, but also a lot on my back. My face is kind of OK at the moment, but my back goes haywire when I'm stressed or anxious, mostly because I agitate it by picking at it.
Does anyone have anything they do for this? I'll take any advice.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're describing, but I'm afflicted with the condition in this link:

I need to seek treatment for it. I've always been a compulsive pimple popper and I have literally spent days digging deep to get ingrown hairs out. :(
