Answer 1

It sounds like you have Dermatillomania.

I have it, too. It's actually really common.
Many people believe it is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder.

Answer 2

Picking at your face and even scabs can sometimes be caused by severe depression. That may also contribute, or stem from your weight gain. You should see your doctor, he/she can help with medication or referr you to other doctors that can help you. You are young and picking your pimples can scar your pretty face, I am sure your mom is just concerned for you because she loves you. Let her know that the way she expresses her concerns hurt you sometimes, I bet that is not her intention. And finally, beauty really does come from within, if you feel beautiful and confident, that's how you will appear to others no matter what you weigh.

Answer 3

Its your harmones, who isn't overweight, its doesn't matter, you shouldn't pick your pimples, use a sterile safety pin and only pop white heads. Proactive is a good medicine from experience, I've used practically every medicine and only proactive works for me.
Just be happy with yourself, if you need to you should walk and jog, and try a diet, not get to carried away though, I had the same problem but I got through it and I still get them at 20.

Answer 4

What is the stuff that you're also picking? Ew gross. Ok seriously, I think you're doing it because of stress. If you eat healthy food, drink lots of water and see a dermatologist about a good treatment for your acne, I think your skin will improve and you won't want to pick at yourself so much, but try to just stop meanwhile if you can. Find some other way to work out your tension.
