Suggest Treatment For Compulsive Scalp Picking Behavior

Hi Dr. I recently started picking my scalp like an idiot but its because of my anxiety. I picked to hard and felt a sharp pain and it radiated into my teeth. No its sore to the touch and a little swollen. Should I worry as I am a tad bit of a hypochondriac. But maybe I just pinched a nerve. Reassure me? Thank you.
