DEAR ANNIE: I am an elderly widow who has become friends with another elderly widow who lives in the same apartment complex that I do. She is very smart and well-read, and I can talk about things with her that other friends have no interest in. She is partly disabled and seldom leaves her apartment except to go to doctors. Like me, her children live in other states. We have been getting together for a few hours once a week for some time.
Your friend needs help. It is so understanding that you would not want to sit and watch her pick her face. It is also not very hygienic. But if you are a real friend, then you need to explain that there are treatments for skin-picking involving medications and therapy. A good dermatologist will be able to steer her in the right direction.
