It certainly is included under the OCD heading. So is compulsive skin picking, which I have experienced. The problem is that even the best books on OCD don't really have very much about these particular conditions, though I gather that Fred Penzel has written about this problem in some of his work.
It's difficult to combat, I know. I have even sat on my hands to stop myself picking. Do let me know if you have any tips!
It's all really down to you being able to resist :/ I struggle but I've narrowed down from pulling at my brows now I rub hard, I really wish I could stop but it's so hard
It helps at least to restrict yourself to one area. I know just how intense the urge can be.
