Harm OCD

Ok take everything i say with a pinch of salt i’m not a therapist and have only just started my therapy on here. You could try wearing gloves to prevent picking. Also, maybe try picking something harmless instead like picking some dried wax, clay, playdoh, or tearing some paper, or just doing something to keep your hands busy. Have you tried journalling your worries to get them out of your head onto paper? I find that helps me. Everytime you feel like picking do something else to distract yourself. I pick the skin around my thumb when i’m anxious or upset too, its not as bad as it used to be though. Good luck hope this can help in some way

Try CBT to address your worries. Most of what we worry about never comes true. Try shifting to thinking more positive. There is a chance that something negative can come true but theres also a chance it can go well, try to focus on that instead if just the worst case scenarios. That helps me too.

I’m not sure if this would help there are lava rocks on Etsy that have some kind of wax on them and they seem satisfying to pick at. There are are also fidget toys that are clear fidget toys with little beads that you can like pick out but I’m not sure what it’s called.
