My nearly 3 yo DD has been picking the skin on her face for a few months now.
She has eczema which I think started it off but that's under control now. She has about 5 'spots' on her face that she continually picks at so they never heal. I'm really worried that they will scar.
Whenever we see her do it we remind her/try to distract her. Her fingernails are short and we regularly moisturise the area to try and keep it soft. She does have a naturally anxious personality but seems to be happy in general and has a stable home life.
I don't know where to go from here really. I've seen the Scratch Sleeves that you can use at night but she likes to be able to help herself to a drink of water at night so don't think that'll work.
