Would this be considered OCD?

Question

well i know i'm not COMPLETELY ocd and i've never been diagnosed as ocd by any of my psychologists from the past hehe.. but for realz i have a problem picking at my face ughhhhh even if the pimple isn't noticeable i can't help it AHHH does anybody else do this or is it just me? ty bye guys<3

Answer 1

picking is associated with OCD, yes. but it has to be to an extreme. My friend who has this type of OCD picks holes (actual holes) in her face and refuses to let them heal. If your doctor doesnt think it is severe enough to label as OCD, then it is probably just a bad habit.

Everyone picks at bumps and things. its normal.

Answer 2

Its just a habit

Answer 3

It&#039;s not OCD, it&#039;s a bad habit. Try to be aware of when your hands are going up to your face and make yourself stop. There&#039;s nothing wrong with this, but with all habits, they are hard to break.
