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.

I’ve got to know the subject through Instagram and a shared hobby. I really admire her no fucks given approach and I think you can see it in this gritty portrait of her. I used fine liners to create tiny dots, totally apt for this condition. Full permission was obtained before and after completion of the portrait. -

I appreciate my work being noticed and also grateful to see how many people out in the world deal with the same issues as me/raise awareness about it. I’ve picked my skin all my life and some days I end up with my skin looking as though I have chicken pox. It’s so hard to not start picking as soon as I look in a mirror. I’m doing my best to look after my skin but some days it feels impossible. I need to tell myself what I’m seeing is normal and not everyone will notice them like I do. I’m doing my best and I’m grateful for my talents that keep my hands busy most of the day! -
