I don’t pull my hair out, but I compulsively pick scabs/bumps on my scalp. It’s hard to stop. I used to do this when I had long hair back in '15, and I’d do it when I was stressed.
I don’t wanna end up going bald from an infection or something.
I’ve stopped for weeks or months before, but I always cave in. I wish there was some kind of hair product that could stop me from doing this.
If you pick your nose and then touch your scalp you’ll get an infection on your head. That might be your problem.
I’m sorry to hear that you suffer from this also . I’ve been going through this for 20 years now . It’s a compulsion and on top of schizophrenia it’s tough .
I’m on the max dose of lexapro plus take 1200 mg of nac and it seems to help

Trichotillomania is only for hair pulling. Theres a different term for skin picking. I have both! Yay me. I have to shave my beard because i pull half of it out.
