Dermatillomania, also known as Excoriation Disorder, is a body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) characterized by the compulsive urge to pick at one’s own skin. A Dermatillomania Test evaluates whether the picking leads to tissue damage, distress, or impairment in social functioning. This Dermatillomania Test explores your behavioral triggers—such as stress, boredom, or the perception of “imperfect” skin—and your attempts to decrease or stop the behavior. While only a mental health professional can provide a diagnosis, the Dermatillomania Test serves as a critical first step in clinical screening and self-understanding.
Performing a Dermatillomania Test periodically can help identify if your symptoms are intensifying. The Dermatillomania Test metrics used here align with impulse control research and BFRB advocacy guidelines.

Trigger Frequency
The Dermatillomania Test identifies whether picking occurs during specific emotional states like anxiety or fatigue.
