Tallulah Willis recently took to social media to share a personal update about her health. The daughter of Bruce Willis opened up about her struggles with compulsive skin picking, also known as dermatillomania or excoriation disorder. In collaboration with the Picking Me Foundation NFP, the 30-year-old shared before and after photos as she celebrated a small victory in her ongoing battle with the condition.
On her Instagram post, Tallulah shared pictures of her face, including one where her skin appeared sore and red around her mouth and orbital area. In contrast, the following photos showed her skin looking clear and healthy. Alongside the side-by-side comparison, she reassured her followers that healing is possible, even though it may not mean perfect skin or complete elimination of intrusive thoughts. She described these moments as small wins in her journey.
As a former child star now pursuing a career in fashion, Tallulah did not go into detail about her personal experiences with the condition. However, she expressed her desire to support and bring awareness to others struggling with skin picking disorder. In another post, she shared her own comparison photos and wrote about the community she has found in this struggle. She also expressed her determination to help others achieve their own victories and rescue those who feel alone in their struggles.
Tallulah's vulnerable post received an outpouring of grateful comments from her fans. Many felt seen and validated by her openness, and some shared their own experiences with skin picking and hair pulling. Even actress and comedian Chelsea Handler commented on Tallulah's beauty, both inside and out, regardless of her skin picking.
Skin picking is often linked to other mental health conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and body dysmorphic disorder, as well as skin conditions like acne and eczema. It can also be a form of sensory self-regulation, which is why it is sometimes associated with those on the autism spectrum. Earlier this year, Tallulah publicly announced her autism diagnosis on Instagram, sharing old footage of herself as a child with her famous father on the red carpet.
