It’s really bad on my arms - I get little bumps and pimple like things and I will scratch and pick at them until they are gaping wounds bc I hated the texture. My arms are covered in scars now. A new anxiety medication and long sleeves really helped. Maybe some kind of hat could work for you? Or some stress toy that could keep your hands busy? Picking apart stress balls helped me

I've learned that if my nails aren't long enough for me to pick properly i eventually give up absentmindedly and i feel it helps most people to cut your nails to numbs often or wear press ons, acrylic, or gel x nails that also make it really hard to pick but unfortunately i have nails that grow really fast so it doesn't work for me at all but if it can help someone else i hope it does.
