The clinical importance of skin picking disorder (SPD) in the elderly is quite high, this importance stems from physical health complications, psychological effects, social isolation, treatment difficulties, and the need for specialized treatment strategies. Effective management of this disorder requires a multidisciplinary approach and age-specific treatment strategies.
