    I had some success with N-Acetylcysteine supplements after my dermatologist recommended them. For me it was like a 75% reduction in urge to pick after 2 days of taking it. YMMV but it’s worth the price of a bottle of NAC to see if it’s helpful, imo

      20+ years of unprompted advice (as in, when it’s not the topic at hand, just a reaction toy body; your advice is appreciated!) and I have NEVER heard of this, thank you!!

        The research on it is new and tentative but promising enough I thought it was worth a shot. Fingers crossed for ya :]
