Dermatillomania can be hard to talk about. Let's draw about it.
This is a growing collection of art by individuals who have suffered with Skin Picking Disorder.
Acting as a visual portrayal of their journey, these drawings help other sufferers understand they're not alone.

A series of about A5 size collages made as a form of autotherapy. I had a really hard time since I was staying home a lot for the first week of quarantine and my hands wandered to my bare feet unintentionally a lot. After I made those works it all calmed down, I stopped picking so much and my feet healed- not completely, but to an extent where it doesnt hurt me to walk anymore, which was pretty rare before that.
I post more of my art and the details of those on instagram here: instagram.com/laura.jerzak

I am struggling with Dermatillomania for almost eleven years now. And drawing is a way of escaping this.
