If I Pull On My Body Hair, It Comes Out

i notice that i’m shedding alot of hair in all my body. for example if i pull my eyebrows i can get like 2 or 3 hairs every time, same with legs and arms. So i shaked my hair very strong with my hands and i counted 67 hairs fall out in just like 30 seconds. should i go to the doctor or what?

my hair and eyebrows are thick though

Perhaps you should stop pulling on your body hairs. If you cannot keep self control of doing this, it may be something called trichotillomania. Most people do not count the hairs that fall out and catalog them. I don’t know about your environment or hair styling methods, so I can’t really say whether losing 67 hairs by shaking your hair is abnormal for you. If you use hair product (gel or hair spray), you might be trapping some of those hairs that would normally fall out during the day, so you’re seeing many fall loose at one time. Or if you wear a hat, the same could apply. It’s normal to lose 100 or so hairs per day.

If you’re concerned about hair loss, see a doctor. It couldn’t hurt. You indicated you’re in New York, so I’d suggest paying Dr. Robert Bernstein a visit.
