29. Trichotillomania :: Posted Thursday, May 24, 2001 by admin ::
Trichotillomania is the compulsive pulling out of one's own hair. It is most common in children. In trichotillomania, patchy, incomplete areas of hair loss with many broken hairs appear primarily on the scalp but may occur on other areas as well, such as the eyebrows. In trichotillomania, an occlusive dressing encourages normal hair growth, simply by calling attention to the problem (and to the possible need for psychiatric counseling).
