i know for sure that this is a psychological problem!. it's a nervous habit that you've been doing- some people even eat their hair!. i pick my cuticles!. either from some kind of suppressed memory or feeling that you do not wish to recognize, or because you're extremely stressed out, it's something psychological!. i'm guessing you won't want to pay to see a shrink or a psychologist (i wouldn't, it's so pricey :( )!. if you have a friend who's a very good listener, pick a day, do some pedicures or something and talk about your life, your childhood, your feelings, whatever it is and let it out!. whenever i do this with my friends i always end up realizing something that i had not recognized before on my own!. it's like one of those things that you know, but you don't know you know it until you say it yourself!. haha!. best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
yes, I heard of ppl who do that, its a nervous disease, its like some ppl who eat their fingernails !. i used to eat my fingernails for many years, it was a disaster , i don`t do it anymore !. you should stop doing it, find something else to do, and really try to stop because the more you continue the more difficult will be to quit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No need to worry!.!.!.!.yes it is a nervous problem!.!.!.similar to biting nails!. I actually know what you are going thru!.!.!.my eighth grade year I literally had a bald spot in the middle of my head!. I didn't pull my hair out in clumps or anything!.!.!.I would slowly pull it out strand by strand if I was just sitting and thinking or watching T!.V!.!.!.!.sitting in class!.!.!.anything where my mind would wander!. A lot of the time I didn't know I was doing it!. I read about it in a newspaper and showed my mom but she thought I was crazy!. I found that if I kept my hair pulled up in a bun or had something really pretty done to it I pulled it out less!. I am 23 years old today and to this very day if my hair is down I will still pull it out!.!.!.strand by strand!.!.!.but it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Better go to see a Doctor to ask for better opinion!.
However, in my experiences, I used to have longer hair and it is easier for me to pull out some of my hair or I found more hair in bath or shower!. Then I cut my hair short and now I don't have much of that problem now!.
Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
