[Skin Concerns] Anyone else really struggle with the urge to extract/squeeze sebaceous filaments?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I was wondering if any other SCAs had trouble stopping the urge to pick at, squeeze, or extract sebaceous filaments. Logically I know it's bad for my skin, and there are better ways of dealing with SFs (like the fiddy snails method), but extracting SFs is really soothing for me. It's almost addicting.I'm concerned because not only is it bad for my skin, but I also have a history of anxiety and obsessive compulsions (particularly trichotillomania- which I think is a similar compulsion to the extracting habit).I'd love to hear from people who have struggled with this, especially if you've also struggled with similar compulsions before. I could definitely use some advice & support :)
