Dermotillomania

Compulsive skin picking, another body-focused repetitive behavior, is characterized by repetitive touching, rubbing, scratching, picking at, or digging into skin; these behaviors often result in skin discoloration, scarring, or even tissue damage.

Habit Reversal Training (a type of CBT) is often an important component of treatment.  However, additional cognitive-behavioral interventions are at times necessary for significant symptom improvement.
