Trigger Warning: Body Stuff
I am a skin picker. I have always been a skin picker.
I had a small bump right inside my nostril that has been bothering me for about 10 days. I've been trying to squeeze it, and I finally got it today. It was right near my septum, so I had tears just streaming down my face, but I feel so relieved to not have the constant irritation of the bump being there anymore.
Another Victory: I got spined by one of my cactus plants about a month - six weeks ago. It was right near my cuticle. I wasn't aware that part of the spine had broken off in my skin; the area had been irritated ever since, but looked otherwise healed. It's been itching, so I finally decided to do a little bit of digging and I saw something dark and got it out. I'm EXTREMELY relieved. It wasn't infected or anything, just a minor swollen area. Picture of the spine attached.
Speaking of Skin: My psoriasis is clearing up thanks to Skyrizi. I've had 2 injections now; just the loading doses. But it's also a sensory relief to not have constantly itchy/flaky/burning skin. My psoriasis hasn't been severe or even moderate in quite a few years, but it was definitely still a pain and a bother and distraction. I'm feeling much better in my skin now, and haven't noticed any negative side effects so far.
