i had the same problem until a year later i saw the result, and the scarring is horrible, just DONT do it, try not to look into a mirror at all unless ur doing your makeup or whatever.. I just stayed away from the mirrors until i lost the habit, it only took a week or so. And it f you do have bad scarring, Neutrogena Acne Mark fading peel is freakin awesome. Its about $14, but it works great.
Also find another habit to occupy ur hands if your just an ocd type. Like even kids silly putty or sumthin.

I had the same problem. I'll tell you how I got through it. Use an exfoliating cleanser. A good one is apricot scrub by st ives. If you scrub a little firmly the blackheads and white heads will go away eventually. If you pick at your skin you can end up with scarring and that looks worse than blackheads.

u need to get on a good skin care program,then u would not have zits your skin get dirty just from the environment and touching your face...i had this same problem. invested in Mary Kay products and it works also u may have some allergies to certain types of food or make up and if u use makeup wash it off before u go to bed with cleanser not soap soap has lye and lye is made of ashes ....keep your skin clean and keep your hands in your pockets good luck...

when you have a "white head or black head" put vinegar on a cloth or cotton ball and hold it on the pimple for a few seconds. Do this a couple times a day and you won't have any pimples to pick at!

I see no way... But if you are gonna pick, put a steaming hot towel on your face before you do and then when you do pick they come out easier and there isn't any marks or scarring afterwards...

the best way to break a habit is to replace it with another one, hopefully the one you replace it with is a healthy, good habit.
