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.

"This was an Inktober prompt, 'pick', and of course being someone who struggles a lot with picking, I felt like I had to choose it as it was close to my heart.
I wanted to emphasize the vulnerability to it and all the marks it leaves." -

"I’m an advocate of Dermatillomania. I have suffered from the condition in the past. My art is a representation of the difficulties that people with our condition suffer. I would like to highlight the condition for awareness for this unknown disorder.
Having recently discovered the incredible work that your foundation does, being apart of raising awareness for Dermatillomania and the effects that it has on largely silent sufferers can be incredibly difficult for us. I would be honoured to be apart of raising awareness for this significant cause." -

"This image is a depiction of my skin picking. I created it as part of a set of zines based around my mental health called 1in4 Zines. I have depression & anxiety with excoriation forming an aspect of it all. As a comic artist & writer I at least have an outlet to talk about my BFRB and hopefully raise awareness."
