I’ve got a picker… what do I do to stop it?

So Eshiva is a picker. She picks at bug bites. She picks at scabs. She picks her lips. Pick pick pick. How do I stop it?

She has scars on her elbows and arms from the picking. Her lip is scabby from the picking (I am constantly putting stuff on it, and I tried just giving her the stick of lip stuff but she eats it – I reapply once an hour or more often if I notice).

She picks, then she bleeds, then she asks for a bandaid.

Michael is concerned we’re going to wind up with a cutter (he feels she picks and then asks for the bandaid for attention).

I just don’t want her covered in scars.

Any way to stop this?
