A member asked:
I have trichotillomania for 2years now. i have stopped pulling out my hair since 5days ( trying to not pluck from now on ) will my hair grow back? i am still a teen?

After you have stopped pulling out your hair for about five to eight weeks , it could start growing back . The damaged hair follicle will recover slowly over the next 2 years if there is no further hair pulling . Your doctor might suggest the best strategies to avoid hair pulling ,including therapy , and joining a support group . The prospects for recovery are good .
