its ok to pick as long as you dont go to far!!! scars are a fact of life it gives tou character!! you can make up stories as to how you got them!! or tell the truth if thats more interesting!!!!

When I was a kid I used to pick them off and eat them. It didn't do me any harm.

Well I'll tell you something, My oldest son, who is now 27 was one of the worse pickers ever. Mosquito bites, cuts from falling down, you name it, he picked. He can name most all the scars to this day, where they came from. He just looks now and wished he knew then, what he knows now. He would have listened to MOM (me) and would have left them alone.Please just let them heal and the scab will eventually fall off. This is the body's way of protecting the wound.

I'm a picker, i have to mess with scabs they drive me crazy when they start to heal and itch like mad. I have to make myself stop coz picking too much leaves a scar :-( The odd thing is that it drives me mental if my boyfriend picks his, i hate to see him hurt himself, mental much!

I leave them on. They are there for a reason. When the injury heals, they will fall off on their own.
