you might have a condition called dermatillomania (im not quite sure how to spell it)
Dermatillomania is a mental health condition where a person compulsively picks or scratches their skin, causing injuries or scarring. Also known as excoriation disorder or skin-picking disorder, this condition falls under the category of obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCDs). <<Dictionary definition

Skin picking. I do it to my face when stressed or angry without realising it. If I'm not picking my skin, I'm peeling off the skin of my lips with my teeth till I bleed and I have noooooo idea why it happens.

It's a disorder. A few people here have it.
