[quote=Anonymous][i]r[quote=Anonymous]The thing to understand is trich is a vicious cycle because the pulling makes the scalp irritated and the irritated scalp draws the attention and leads to more pulling. So treating the scalp irritation is part of it but maybe trying hats, giving him other ways to do things with his hands (fidget toys, sometimes having ribbons or silky materials in someone's pockets helps fulfill the feedback needed). Hats are a good option for providing a barrier but for some people they can itchy. So treat the scalp and try to address the pulling.[/quote] Not saying that this stuff won’t work and OP should definitely try it. But we tried all these things. We even bought a wristband that vibrates when he lifted his hand to his head. The only thing that helped was NAC. The doctors we saw were totally useless and clueless but I bet you could find a good one if you find someone special in OCD.[/quote]
