Is it easy to find a partner and/or maintain relationship when you have Dermatillomania?
People with experience in Dermatillomania give their opinion on whether it is easy or not to have a partner or to maintain a realationship when you are diagnosed of Dermatillomania. What are the possible difficulties in having a relationship?
Having Dermatillomania definitely makes it more difficult to find a partner but when you do you can usually be sure that your partner is interested in you as a person. If you are looking for a relationship smiling and making eye contact definitely help. Keeping your chin up and being proud of who you are also helps.

Sometimes it is difficult to find and maintain a relationship with dermatillomania. Insecurities about the appearance of your skin can lead to asocial behaviors. Potential partners may also not be accepting of the condition or its symptoms. Hiding picking or the resulting sores from a partner can put a strain on the relationship as well. It's best to find someone who is understanding and supporting of the condition but not enabling. Be open and honest about your picking and what causes it, and tell them what they can do to help.

As long as that person wants you for who you are and not for your scars
