Tallulah Willis gave candid insight into skin-picking disorder
Tallulah Willis is taking her skin-picking disorder one day at a time.
Willis, the youngest daughter of actor Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, detailed her journey with the disorder, also known as dermatillomania, on social media by sharing candid before-and-after selfies and told her followers "healing can happen."
"Healing doesn’t have to mean clear skin, and it doesn’t mean intrusive thoughts stop intruding, and it doesn’t mean you’re not gonna do it again," she captioned a carousel of images shared on Instagram. "It’s small wins."

Skin-picking disorder, or excoriation disorder, is a common neuropsychiatric disorder. People who have it cannot stop picking at their skin, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Skin-picking frequently coincides with trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), and both disorders commonly present with depression and anxiety and impulsive and obsessive compulsive disorders.
Behavioral therapy appears to be the most effective treatment for both.
