Runny Nose or Nasal Congestion. A runny nose and/or nasal congestion (stuffy nose) are two of the most common symptoms of a cold. These symptoms result when excess fluid causes blood vessels and mucous membranes within the nose to swell. Within three days, nasal discharge tends to become thicker and yellow or green in color.
excoriate (third-person singular simple present excoriates, present participle excoriating, simple past and past participle excoriated) (transitive) To wear off the skin of; to chafe or flay.
Research has also suggested that excoriation disorder may be thought of as a type of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Excoriation disorder and OCD are similar in that they both involve repetitive engagement in behaviors with diminished control and also both generally decrease anxiety. Nevertheless, Odlaug and Grant have suggested that excoriation disorder is more akin to substance abuse disorder than OCD.
