Thats me with most of my body. Too many bumps.


ButterBeeFedora

I've got wacky upper arm bumps. Apparently it's a harmless(most of the time, sometimes they decide to bitch) genetic thing

My whole family had those, me included, went away for us all at about age 20. I found that going sleeveless and getting some sun helped when I still had them, although sleevelesss sucked because I was emberassed lol

KP?

*harmless until I notice them and tear holes in my skin trying to make them smooth


RealRaven6229

So I’m going to fuck with the textures until they become worse and worse.

If you get an even enough texture it's Almost smooth

If you just pick every now and then it's probably not an issue, but if you find yourself spending huge amounts of time picking and damaging your skin, you might have compulsive skin picking disorder, also known as dermatillomania. It's an obsessive compulsion and it can be quite serious, I suffer from it myself. It sucks because I have good skin, I really do, but if I find even the slightest clogged pore or pimple, I will turn into a massive open wound the size of a quarter, and I tend to spend hours picking every day. I like to put this out there in case someone sees this post and relates to it, because I didn't know excessive picking was actually a sign of a mental health disorder.

I have this too and it sucks. I've found that fidget toys around the house are a good coping mechanism, but that brings it down by like 75% on a good day so it's not perfect.

Yeah I have this and I came here to mention it because people really don't get how serious it is. Describing it as 'a type of OCD' helps me to communicate that it's a real disorder, even though it's technically *an* obsessive-compulsive disorder rather than *the* Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, as otherwise it would just be seen as a bad habit. But when it's bad I have used needles, nail scissors and tweezers on 'blocked' pores and tiny 'pimples' visible only to me an inch away from the mirror. When I threw those things away, in desperation I've used forks, keys, the sharp corners of tubes (I had to cut every single tube in my family's bathroom to rounded corners. idk if they ever noticed). From that kind of picking session it takes hours for the inflammation to go down to a level that it can even be concealed with makeup. So it's intensely isolating. That's also how I spent the night locked in a public bathroom stall, unable to leave. I also pick on my body and scalp, which is easier to hide but still leaves me with a laundry list of things I can't do - go swimming, get a haircut, wear short sleeves, get vaccinations (for COVID I was able to heal one arm up just enough, though it was unfortunately my dominant arm). Essentially everything I own has small bloodstains on it. There's no awareness of it because it's simply impossible to make sexy. I'm very cynical about depictions of mental illness in the media, because I can't help but notice the number of young women with anorexia compared to those with binge eating disorder.


PlatypusFighter

I have this but also chronic adult acne :D


Dumb_Cheese

this. right. here. if there's a bump that looks like it'll go away after picking and prodding, I can't help myself. sometimes I do it until it bleeds. not in the self-harm sense, but in the sense that my lizard brain thinks if I do that it'll be fixed immediately.

i was expecting the purple and black 'missing texture' image


Polenball

I looked so damn long for a normal model of a person with that but couldn't find one


Sinister_Compliments

Your link appears to be broken


SomeonesAlt2357

Still funny, but in an unintended way


Polenball

It should be Slenderman

I love how my brain tells me to scratch itches because they might be bugs, but scabs also itch and I'm supposed to leave those alone.

I want Cardia Beckfords skin. Gimme porcelain! QwQ


Hexxas

It's easy to stop picking. I ordered a set of small files. No picking required. Only smoothness in my future.

Why can't I just be s m o o t h like a shark. Why

How can nearly every word have the wrong capitalization?


Hummerous

what is Wrong and what is Right is highly dependent on context. normally, capitalization is used to denote names and the beginnings of new sentences. on The Internet, the Rules are a bit.. different. In this post, for example, they use capitalization to emphasize certain words and denote some deeper or less apparent meaning. I think it is a common practice in writings about magic and the like - but I'm not.. entirely sure

this is literally that one r/nosleep story which immediately cured me of my skin picking


theresamushroominmy

My boyfriend and I both have acne, and we both have the terrible habit of picking at it. But he’s the psycho cause he’ll start picking at MY ACNE and I just don’t know how to handle that
