I have heard it is common for people with OCD to pick body parts. Just interested if others here have done it. I know someone who picks zits on their face. I only realized recently that I am a compulsive picker. I pick my nose and my head. I find it enjoyable, and feel a sense of achievement if I've picked at least nearly all that is there. It's just something I'm drawn towards. When I say picking my head I refer to the part with hair. There's often dead skin or something to pick.
On a similar note I often clean my watch with my fingers. I enjoy getting rid of grime on it, though it usually doesn't need to be cleaned. One time this week I decided that I wouldn't clean something off and immediately I felt anxiety. This proves it is part of my OCD.
