You pick once. It feels better. You pick again. Now it’s redder, and the mark lasts longer. Skin picking can restart inflammation, delay healing, and increase the risk of dark marks and scars. It isn’t just “self-control.” It’s a cycle. https://t.co/FFtiQK9ZjB
Writing these pieces reminded me that medicine is not only about learning to diagnose and treat disease. It is also about learning to pay attention.

Life looks very different from when I first made this account years ago. Grateful to now be pursuing medicine in Barbados and continuing to grow every day through the process.
Dermatillomania Bunny!
🎉 1st Prototype! 🎉
Definition from Google:
"Excoriation disorder (also referred to as chronic skin-picking or dermatillomania) is a mental illness related to obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is characterized by repeated picking at one's own skin which results in areas of swollen or broken skin and causes significant disruption in one's life."

Life is short, but a dog’s is even shorter. This is a reminder not to take a day for granted. We may walk through life thinking we’re alone and won’t even realize our fur friends are always by our side. Love them unconditionally because I know they are doing the same for you.
