CEO Lauren McKeaney has lived with #Dermatillomania for over 27 years and knows firsthand the struggles of living with this disorder. She most recently received double-hand surgery in 2019 from severe carpal tunnel, a side effect after years of picking. Lauren understands what you're going through and that's why she's dedicated to helping you receive the recognition you deserve, especially during this stressful quarantine. We're more than a nonprofit, we are a community.
