Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is a traumatic, self-induced alopecia that results from plucking, twisting, and rubbing which causes broken hair shafts. On physical exam the areas of circumscribed hair loss on the scalp are bizarrely shaped, show hairs broken off at different lengths, scalp excoriations, and perifollicular petechiae.
