Answer:problem may Marika be challenged by is Excoriation.

Explanation:

Excoriation — is a disorder in which someone loses the top surface of their skin(epidermis) and some part of the underneath dermis when they scratch their bodies or skin. They do this constantly and sometimes in an agressive way.

Skin picking or scratching occurs due to some underlying factors that trigger it. Common triggers are seeing irregularities in one's skin and anxiety. Excoriation may cause further complications such as infection attacking the area which has been scratched , tissues can be exposed to damaging factors and also can result to sepsis.
