Q: Compulsive Skin Picking?

I have a problem of always picking at my face. It started when I was younger, and gradually worsened. My parents and friends see it as nothing, as I try not to do it in front of others. I'm always taking one last look in the mirror, and at the slightest sight of anything close to a pimple or blackhead, i'm instantly picking away. I wear make-up to cover the red blotches I create, and am always checking the mirror to make sure it's the least visible as I can get it. I've read a bit about similar habit disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, and body dismorphic disorders, but I have no clue which it could be, if any. I've recently come to recognize it as a problem. I'll have times where I can go days without, then I instantly start picking again. I want to stop, but don't know how. Can anyone help??
