抓挠癖,严重者称抠皮症拉丁语: dermatillomania,英语: Excoriation disorder)指一种喜欢剥除皮肤凸起部分的癖好。严重者属于强迫-冲动谱系的心理健康障碍。患者表现出无法抗拒的冲动,反复抠挖自己的皮肤,甚至伤口未愈合时强行除,即使这种行为会导致皮肤受损、感染、留下永久疤痕乃至自残。这种行为通常在个体感到高压焦虑无聊时加剧,而在进行皮肤抠挖后,患者可能会感到暂时的心理释放满足[1][2]。患者中女性比男性更多[2][3]

治疗

心理治疗

认知行为疗法(CBT)是治疗抠皮症的主要心理治疗方式,尤其是专门针对此类行为的习惯逆转训练(HRT)和接纳与承诺治疗(ACT)[4]

药物治疗

SSRI阿片类拮抗剂、抗癫痫药和谷氨酸药物可能有助于减少抠皮行为[2]
