Acne Excoriée is a skin condition that is characterized by compulsive picking or scratching of acne lesions. It is a form of self-inflicted skin damage that can lead to further irritation, inflammation, and scarring of the affected area. This condition is usually associated with underlying psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. The urge to pick or scratch can be triggered by stress or emotional distress, and the act of doing so can provide temporary relief, but ultimately results in worsening of the condition. Acne Excoriée can be challenging to treat, and individuals with this condition are encouraged to seek professional help from dermatologists or mental health professionals to address both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition.
