Tallulah Willis is taking her skin-picking disorder one day at a time.

Willis, the youngest daughter of actor Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, detailed her journey with the disorder, also known as dermatillomania, on social media by sharing candid before-and-after selfies and told her followers "healing can happen."

"Healing doesn’t have to mean clear skin, and it doesn’t mean intrusive thoughts stop intruding, and it doesn’t mean you’re not gonna do it again," she captioned a carousel of images shared on Instagram. "It’s small wins."

Skin-picking frequently coincides with trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), and both disorders commonly present with depression and anxiety and impulsive and obsessive compulsive disorders.

Behavioral therapy appears to be the most effective treatment for both.

The Willis family has spent the last year learning to live with the "Die Hard" actor's frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis.

Tallulah spoke about her father's dementia diagnosis during an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show" in November 2023. 

"He is the same, which I think in this regard I’ve learned is the best thing you can ask for," she said.

"I see love when I’m with him, and it’s my dad. And he loves me, which is really special."
