6 yr old ADHD and picking scabs

[welshandproudgal]

Hello, I'm after some advice.
My daughter is 6 years old and has ADHD. Every scab she has she'll pick and pick at it, resulting in them taking ages to heal. She's now got 2 on her face, her cheek and forehead. I've been applying sudocrem to them but it's not helping as she'll wipe it off. I've rung drs but couldn't get through so will be trying again tomorrow!
I don't know what else I can do to stop her. Plasters - she'll just take them off and then pretend they came off themselves.

Has anyone else been through this with their child/children. Have you got any hints and tips for me please. It's really upsetting me.
TIA

Keep her nails very short (file every other day). With my DD she was doing it subconciously so it was harder to stop it, but I found that keeping the scab very well moisturised helped. I involved DD in this and tried to make the habit of putting on moisturiser (I gave her a little pot to keep with her) rather than picking, which did work after a week of constant reminders and redirection because she liked the little pot we used. We also used scratchsleeves at night because she was doing it in her sleep which slowed healing Baseball Pj Top For Itching Children And Teens - ScratchSleeves
