Your symptoms suggest you might have a compulsive disorder. Called EXCORIATION (skin picking disorder). It is in some ways similar to OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). The reason for skin picking/scratching is unknown but as you said people get pleasure from picking the skin. I advice you to consult a psychiatrist and get your condition analyzed in detail. And for the marks on your face will have to be treated by a dermatologist. However, the primary treatment is to control your compulsive and repeated picking/scratching of skin through either medication or counselling or both from a psychiatrist.
