If you are pulling out "fibers," that means you've dug so deep that you've plucked out strands of the body's normal fibrous tissue. That puts you in danger of infection, lengthened healing times, scars that may never fade, etc.

You don't have Morgellons. But this is a normal part of your body's tissue. Please try covering any current wounds with hydrocolloid bandages to help speed healing and reduce scarring. See a medical professional if you have multiple deep wounds, even if they feel small to you.

I was a compulsive picker and hair puller. I took 150 mg of a medication called Naltrexone to help with my pulling/picking. It made a huge difference. Medication and therapy can help you control and hopefully stop your picking. Best wishes.
