Neurofunctional epidermal exfoliation

Neurotic epidermal ablation (neurotic excoriation), also known as neuroepithelial ablation. Caused by the unconscious compulsive digging, scratching, or rubbing of your skin. The patient unconsciously forced himself to use nails, wood chips, wire or other objects to buckle, dig, scrape, and scratch his skin. Where the hand is easily accessible, different forms of epidermal erosion often occur. The course of the disease is slightly longer, and there will be obvious pigmentation.
