Some people see regrowth from microneedling coupled with finesteride. If somebody’s hair loss is not entirely related to dht then would just microneedling have a better chance of working then for somebody who has dht related loss? For example some women experience this trichotillomania related hair loss issue and they most likely don’t have dht […]

This is a patient who has been picking at his hair for 20 years. Although a hair transplant can put normal hair back, it is a psychiatric problem because even if transplanted, this man will continue to pick and pull out his hairs. These hairs are shown as cut off by his fingernails by arrow […]
This is an interesting case of trichotillomania. The patient continues to pick at their hair and breakage of the hair follicles can be seen under microscopic examination
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Trichotillomania, Hair-Pulling Disorder, Caused Me To Leave School I’ve embedded the video interview below:
This sounds like maybe trichotillomania by proxy (like Münchausen syndrome by proxy, a well known phenomenon)… but I’m not sure that would fit either. It usually takes quite a few “pulling sessions” to produce the traction required for permanent hair loss, often over years. So if his hair has regrown over the past 2 years, […]

Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Iowa Boy Pulls Out His Hair and Goes Bald The video that plays at the start of the article is about OCD in general, and isn’t specific to this young boy’s story. But for those curious about the disorder and the steps used to treat it, I’d […]
Snippet from the article: Photo source Read the full story at DailyMail UK — The secret compulsion that’s as disturbing as any eating disorder Trichotillomania is an obsessive compulsive disorder, and the article delves into looks at what triggers the desire to pull out your hair and how to possibly treat it. There’s no single […]
Wow, this is a difficult if not impossible request without a good examination of your hair and scalp. Many people with trichotillomania just continue the pulling and compounding the problem, so you need to be completely sure you’re not still doing this (perhaps without realizing it). With an examination, I’d be able to tell if […]
Trichotillomania is a psychological disorder that makes oneself pull on the hair, causing traction alopecia. It seems you have this type of behavior. This problem is very difficult to control on your own. You may benefit from seeing a doctor or joining a support group. If you have seen return of the hair from stopping […]
Trichotillomania produces hair loss from traction, which can kill the hair follicles that are under constant attack. Once they die, I would think that the follicles can not be brought back to life, and as such, I would not expect that minoxidil will have a benefit in the areas where balding is produced from trichotillomania. […]
Trichotillomania can sometimes be a life long problem. Once the trichotillomania is under control and hair starts to grow there are no ‘known’ medications or treatments to speed up hair growth, but you might try minoxidil and see if it helps. I am sure there are hundreds of products that claim otherwise, but the only […]
Reuters – Hair pulling disorder resistant to treatment Doctors in my field have been reluctant to take on patients with trichotillomania, because the condition is a compulsive disorder which stays, only to bring about recurrence of the hair loss. In many ways, trichotillomania is analogous to obesity, for when a person loses weight, if the […]
I have been picking my hair for years. I would like to think that I stopped, but I know that I keep picking at it. I now have a series of bald areas where the picking has taken out some hair. Is this permanent? Will it come back if I stop picking at it? Can […]
I’m 30M and considering getting a transplant. My case is a little unique though. My hair is actually very thick and curly. My hair loss is at the entire crown of my head and it’s due to physical trauma of the hair root from decades of pulling the hair out due to a disorder called […]
