how do you guys treat skin picking sores?

Need support/advice

I have pretty severe skin picking OCD and lately it is making me so depressed. I feel ugly and hate looking at myself. I removed the mirrors from my bathroom and my bedroom, but I keep finding more ways to pick, I’ve been using compact mirrors and mirrors from jewelry boxes.

Right now, I have numerous sores on my face and I look the worst I have in years. How do you treat sores and wounds from picking? I’m not sure where to begin and how I can prevent infection. Also, how have you guys managed to stop or reduce skin picking behaviors?
