Good Question! Well, you could give yourself a manicure (if your a girl) so you don't want to wreck your nails by picking. You could read a good book, knit, play a video game, or do a puzzle, ride your bike, just something to keep your hands busy. If You still pick it, put prioxcide on it right away then put antibiotic on it and cover it with a bandaid. You'll might forget that the bandaid is on for a few days and you take it off and SHAZAM! It's almost gone! ---- Willpower is needed to overcome the urge to gouge out scabs - I should know ;) Remember that, by picking scabs, you will end up scarring yourself, so use this incentive to try and resist succumbing to temptation! As the answer above stated, do something - anything - to take your mind off it.
