Answer:
Ive been picking the skin off my lips since i was about 9, and i havent been able to stop.

I just looked it up though. Its called CSP. Compulsive skin picking. Its a form of OCD and self injury.

There’s medication. Some of what was suggested was OCD meds. And there's Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.

Putting lip gloss on does help to some degree, but i find that when i have to urge to pick….i will always find something to pick at.

Since your habit is new, it might be easier to beat

Answer:
Your lips must be dry if you are able to pick the skin off them, gently exfoliate them with a shop bought or home made exfoliator (salt is good) then use a touch of vaseline or moisturiser to keep them smooth. Try to just keep it on your lips, too much vaseline around the mouth will encourage blackheads.
