Don't feel bad - I have a mild obsession with scratching at my face when I see a new blemish appear, or scratching at a healing sore. Honestly, I scratch and apply either peroxide or an acne medication called BenzaClin (the best acne cream I have ever used) to areas that end up bleeding. By doing said scratch-and-apply routine, it helped my face clear up faster than if I just left my skin alone.
