Research highlights ▶ Adults with self-reported problematic skin picking (PSP) showed considerable heterogeneity in picking methods, body sites, and function (e.g., regulation of emotional, sensory, and cognitive states). ▶ Adults with self-reported PSP generally reported moderate psychosocial and physical impact from picking, and tended to perceive available treatment as poor in quality. ▶ In adults with PSP, the severity of associated symptoms of psychopathology (depression, anxiety, and stress) were comparable to severity levels found in previous samples of persons with trichotillomania and obsessive–compulsive disorder. ▶ PSP severity was a statistically significant predictor of overall impairment after controlling for depression and anxiety symptoms.
