The Dermatillo-Diaries: The Skin Picking Podcast Podcast

Did you know research suggests at least 1 in 20 people have a BFRB (body focused repetitive behaviour)? Yeah, me neither. For many years, both loved ones and medical professionals wrote my compulsive skin picking off as nothing more than a habit. Turns out, supposedly 2% of the population have dermatillomania and that's just those who have been diagnosed! After 15 years living with my dermatillomania, I'm on a mission to help others understand, accept and embrace their own BFRB. Join me - Kim - as I speak to various experts on important insights as well as chatting to others who will be sharing their amazing, unique stories. Have you been feeling alone? You no longer need to 💛
