My Mum endlessly picks at her skin until it bleeds then won’t let the wounds heal. We have had to get antibiotics to stop infections on several occasions. I think it is anxiously but it’s impossible to stop. I dress the wounds but mum just takes the dressings off.
When I ask why she says it’s a bad habit but it’s much more than that, It’s like a compulsion.
I wondered if anyone had a similar experience? Any advice welcome.
I recently bought a Fidget Quilt for my mother. It keeps her hands busy, perhaps one might help
Try buying her one of those small spinner toys. My husband has the double one and plays with it. He had s single and couldn’t play with it because it was hard to hold. The double is easy and it gives him something to do.
Same OCD behavior here: finally found that the liquid bandaid helped more than anything for hubs: all healed except 1 ... You just never know!
She won't remember. This is much like the behavior
? AFTER ? AFTER ?
divert her.
This seems common with others too: happening here too.
