N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos says her face was left an 'absolute catastrophe' due to a condition she believes was caused by feeling anxious as a teenager.
Singer Tulisa Contostavlos has spoken candidly about her struggles with a condition that led to her "tearing into her face".
When she was younger, Tulisa said she suffered from a devastating condition she believes was caused by anxiety. The star says she found herself battling dermatillomania - or skin picking disorder - when living at home with her mum, Anne. "So after I'd picked away at that spot for a while, I found another spot, then a small blackhead, and then a tiny mark that wasn't even a spot, and after an hour I felt extremely relaxed. The only thing was, I'd picked and squeezed non-existent spots all over my face until it looked like I had really bad acne."
She elaborated on the severity of her condition: "As far as I was concerned, it was just something I did to get away from my mum, but it got so bad that eventually I was tearing into my face with nail clippers and tweezers, just to get at any minute blemish or invisible little bump under my skin. At times I caused absolute catastrophe on my face, leaving gaping, weeping holes that must have looked horrendous.
