Picking at your lips is not recommended. The skin on your lips is thin and delicate, and picking at it can cause several issues. These include bleeding, pain, slowing down the healing process, and further irritation. Picking at your lips can also make them more susceptible to dryness and chapping.
Instead of picking, you should focus on keeping your lips moisturized with lip balm and avoid licking them. If you have persistent lip picking, it could be a sign of a skin-picking disorder called dermatillomania. If you are concerned about your lip picking habits, you should consult a dermatologist or a mental health professional.
