Hello, what you are describing is known as trichotillomania. It is best that you seek consultation from a qualified psychiatrist. As giving treatment for hair growth will be futile unless the patient actually breaks the habit of plucking out the hair. Please do not panic, as trichotillomania often responds excellently to psychotherapy.
