Abstract
Skin picking disorder (SPD) or dermatillomania is a primary psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent skin picking, that may lead to self-induced cutaneous lesions and significant distress or functional impairment. It is described as recurrent picking of skin leading to skin lesions, with repeated attempts to decrease or stop skin picking. This is a case presentation of a 59 years old male suffering from an atypical case of dematillomania who sews repeatedly his skin with a needle and thread.
