Yes: Trichotillomania is the medical term for your condition. There are some tips we can give you but you need to see your family md & see if a referral to psychiatry is needed. Tips: 1.Stress reduction. 2. Rub some vasoline on your eyebrows & on tip of eyelashes without getting it into your eye when you are prone to doing it. 3. Disrupt the behavior by going into a crowd since loneliness is a trigger.
