Suffering from dermatolomania, a psychological disorder known as skin picking disease, Aubrey Wagner’s skin began to become irreversibly scarred. The young girl, who first stated that she started to break skin at the age of 13, is now 24 years old. The disease it is in is psychogenic, recurrent skin picking and can cause serious skin damage and even life-threatening consequences.
The young girl, who hurt herself more intensely when under stress, quit her job and locked herself in her room for a long time. Expressing that he was relieved to be diagnosed with his disease after years of troublesome process, Wagner stated that he was relieved because he realized that his habit was not something he could quit immediately, that there would be a process for him to do it, and that there was a possibility of recovery afterwards.
Wagner, who said that he could no longer go out into people because of dermatillomania, which is known as a skin picking disorder in our language, said that he was pulling his skin for hours before he could stop himself. In the past months, the young girl, who wanted to put an end to the situation, started to receive treatment.
