A few days into the programme and I have duly started counting my scratches. For these purposes, scratch is defined as any scratching, picking, rubbing or touching of the skin. Suddenly I am very aware that while I have reversed all the really damaging behaviour in my first attempt on the programme, in fact I still rub and touch my face a number of times during the day and night, and scratch my head - approximately 52 times on average every day. This is leading to the lichenification on my hands and forehead.
At the end of every day, I make a note of my totals. I will count every day for the next 4 - 6 weeks - just as well Dr Bridgett has given me a counter.
