Hello. I can understand its a painful situation for you. The main thing you should know that trichotillomania is a OCD ( obsessive compulsive disorder). In this condition the person suffers from complusion to pull out their hairs from scalp, arms, eyebrows etc.most of the times there will be a history of some emotional destress to the person suffering from it.sometimes people with anxiety, fungal infection can also present with it. If its a fungal infection,it can be treated with the help of dermatologist.You should understand that a person suffering from trichotillomania needs a psychological guidance and counselling to address the issues in that persons life which is responsible for this. Most of the times people avoid consulting a psychiatrist due to social stigmata or they ignore this as a simple issue but this condition can be controlled with the help of a psychiatrist.so kindly consult a psychiatrist for further management.
