Trichotillomania is characterized by repetitive pulling out of one’s hair (from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes or elsewhere on the body).

For people with trichotillomania, the urge to pull out their hair feels as hard as resisting the urge to scratch a very persistent itch.

People with trichotillomania usually need help from medical and behavioral specialists in order to stop. With the right help, most people overcome their hair-pulling urges. When someone is able to stop pulling, hair usually grows back.
