Four Case of Trichotillomania
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Trichotillomania is the clinical syndrome of alopecia resulting from the repetative pulling, plucking and breaking of one's own hair.
We report four cases of trichotillomania in 10 year old children. The lesions were limited to the scalp. All of them had psychiatric problems in the school or home according to a psychiatric consultation. The histopathologic examination revealed
a
normal number of hair follicles, empty hair follicles and no inflammatory reaction.
The treatment led to hair growth in three cases but on case did not respond to the treatment. (Kor J Dermatol 1993 ; 31(3) : 421-425)
