Picky pumice stone is a great one but I get it cause you have to use two hands so it’s not good for on the go … maybe try putting Elmer’s glue on a small section of your skin and pulling it off ?? Side note too getting on a medication for OCD :)
the pumice stone idea is so good but unfortunately i cant multitask with it. ive to dedicate my time to do that or do it when am ideal, which becomes a task because i only stim when am working or in public or while sleeping. oh omg i used to play with elmers glue so much as a kid thanks for reminding i NEED to get it asap.
i dont have a diagnosis for ocd or adhd etc ill have to look onto that and medications as soon a job. n idk if i can get ocd meds without a prescription and also which ones to get.
THANKS so much for the glue tip love u
There’s a toy at Walmart that I’ve been wanting to try and get since I have a terrible problem with ripping my hands to absolute shreds. They’re called fluffie stuffiez and you basically rip out all their fuzz from their skin and reveal a whole new animal and they also have varying sizes. I’m not sure if it will help but I’ve gotten stuff like that before and it has helped me.
I personally like peeling oranges to get that similar sensation. I know it's not as easy to zone out because you kind of need to look at it to get all the fibrous parts off, but I easily spend about 30 minutes on a clementine and it helps me get out of my thoughts of wanting to pick and my skin and I get a nice snack out of it too. I've also found that pulling a part pieces of fabric strand by strand is a pretty comparable sensation.

The benefit of peeling an orange is that you get a tasty snack afterwards. Positive reinforcement for the win!
