With COVID and its associated stresses, many people have struggled with their skin picking. During the second wave of the pandemic, the Skin Picking Support facebook group was created to help serve the influx of individuals looking for online support through monthly meetings.
With many peer support groups transitioning to online venues, these organizations hold meetings for people with excoriation disorder and other body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) or help independent groups get theirs started:
TLC Foundation for BFRBs
The Lyder Foundation
Picking Me Foundation
Canadian BFRB Support Network
Grassroots groups offering online meetings:
Men’s Online BFRB Support Group

Adults 50+ BFRB Support Group

There are also region-based support groups available around the world.
