According to theCleveland Clinic, dermatillomania is a “mental health condition where you compulsively pick at your skin. This can cause injuries, infections and scarring, leading to stress, anxiety and a reduced sense of well-being. This condition is often treatable with a combination of medication and therapy.”

Tallulah’s new post comes after sheshared a before and afterphoto of her skin in June.

Opening up about her skin picking in the caption, she wrote, “@pickingmefdnPICKING HAPPENS!! And then healing **can ** happen. Healing doesn’t have to mean clear skin, and it doesn’t mean intrusive thoughts stop intruding, and it doesn’t mean you’re not gonna do it again.”

“it’s small wins,” she added. “There’s such a community in this struggle and I want so badly to share how I achieved my wins and help rescue all the sweet picked faces of the world! ☀️☀️☀️.”

Back in 2021, Tallulah spoke about herskin struggles and the treatments she’d been undergoingto clear her complexion.

Admitting she was a “chronic picker,” Tallulah added that “NOT TOUCHIN MY PRECIOUS DELICATE FACHE W GRUBBY NAILS IN 4 - COUNT EM' - 4 MONTHS 🙃🙃🙃” also helped her clearer skin journey.
