Can symptoms of body dysmorphia come and go, like It was never explained to me properly what it was

Yes. This has been noted in a study on it. 

“Furthermore, some individuals with BDD describe fluctuations in insight, such that they are completely convinced that they are ugly at some times but not convinced at others.6 As one patient remarked: “Some days I think my skin’s not so bad, but other days I’m convinced.”1 Observations such as these offer further support for the view that delusional BDD and nondelusional BDD constitute the same disorder, characterized by a range of insight, rather than being different disorders.”

There are times like this, when my skin starts healing despite me picking, that I realize that the imperfections do not cause the picking, but its the other way around. Because even when things are almost gone, as hard as it is, I rip them back open, like I don’t even want them to get better.

It’s like my skin keeps giving me second chances and I keep letting it down.
