Article Synopsis
- Skin Picking Disorder (SPD), also known as dermatillomania, involves habitual skin picking that harms skin tissue, with little prior research on its prevalence and symptoms in Saudi Arabia.
- A study in Jeddah surveyed 520 participants using the Skin Picking Scale-Revised (SPS-R) and found that 28.8% reported skin picking behavior, while only 1.2% had significant SPD symptoms.
- Factors like depressive symptoms and being unmarried were linked to higher SPS-R scores, indicating higher vulnerability within these groups, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and clinical attention to SPS for better patient outcomes.
