@beck - lol! Yeah, my acne forgot to take the non-bleeding class in acne school, too.

@Ourfishies - In many people, the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol can be helpful. This article gives a brief run-down of the material about it, and this article gives a run-down from a therapy company's perspective. As you can see, it is usually used for people with sensory defensiveness. There is some disagreement about it as a therapy because it has not completed clinical trials very far and is used mostly anecdotally, and many people do it in different, not necessarily approved ways (compared to the originators of it). Just remember, you really need an OT to determine if it would help and to teach it. There are lots of little niggling rules that go along with it that make a difference in its proper application.
