Does anyone have issues with picking?

My scalp is bleeding in various places because I was scratching it so hard.

Welcome to the family.
Luckily I've learned to just put whatever itches too much under scalding water.
I've had some horrible experiences with bad itches where I'd literally scratch the skin of my body. It's apparently an allergy-thing >.>

@PurpleStar Wow. Ouch.
That’s bad, I’m sorry.

@ShaythePanTransMan No need to feel sorry, that was ages ago and luckily I've got no scars.
Tho the balding head might be a result of it but I'm just trying to put the excuse to, it runs in the family ... even tho it doesn't >.>
I'm the only one -_-

@PurpleStar That's good.
If you have issues with hair loss, there are a lot of treatments that claim to help. Perhaps Vitamin E? The Ordinary, which is a very good and popular ingredient-focused skincare brand, also has a cheap serum for hair density.

@ShaythePanTransMan Probably a bit late for that, no?
I'm also pretty sure that if hair loss would be genetic, none of those so-called treatments will do much, since at that point it's a genetic/dna thing not missing certain cells-thing.

But as I said, as far as I know, I'm the only balding one.

@PurpleStar No, it'll only get later.
If you're the only one, it might not be genetic. Hair loss can come from things like stress and hair damage.
Just try it, honestly. It's not gonna kill you. The worst it'll do is not do anything, and the best it'll do is help your hair loss. I don't know about you, if I started getting hair loss, I would do anything possible to stop it since I care about my appearance.

@ShaythePanTransMan I always had long hair for most of my life.
As I started noticing hair-loss, I just started shaving it shorter, as I accepted it because I didn't wanna go through like a depressing period, trying out things left and right. And, I gotta be honest ... I wish I did try something when I started noticing.
I'm really afraid it's too late now. But I guess you have a point

@PurpleStar men with long hair are so beautiful 😍
Then try something now. You don’t know that it’s too late. Just try it.

@ShaythePanTransMan I picked it up, ordered, we'll see.
While I was there I picked up some extra hand cream since my hands are the worst.
I drive a bike (keeps me in shape) and this weather, cold, rain, wind, is destroying my hands :(

@PurpleStar Great, tell me how it is.
That’s a good idea too.
Maybe you should exfoliate your hands. Uh...can you do that actually...?
PurpleStar · 26-30, F
@ShaythePanTransMan You do have hand scrubs, so technically, I guess you can.
It's mainly my right hand but it's really bad. So far it hasn't created cuts yet but unlike last year I'm paying a bit better attention to.

@PurpleStar Good, then exfoliation will help.
Wow, be careful.
