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.

Series of seven self-portraits that create a process of de-construction of the face by a progressive auto-degradation of the skin.I take my disorder as a base for this artwork an i drive it to its maximum expression, making my face disappear by tearing the skin little by little until only the structure that holds it is left.

As someone who has dealt with an excoriation disorder in silence from a very young age, I finally feel empowered to share my experience and connect with others through visual communication. Thank you for all that you do for those struggling to accept themselves and their skin as well as for bringing about awareness for skin-picking BFRBS like dermatillomania <3 -
