This is probably triggering.

So I'm pretty sure I have some combination of trichotillomania and dermatillomania. Ever since I was around ten, I would go through periods where I compulsively scratch at my scalp, creating a disgusting amount of dandruff. Luckily I'm in a down period right now, but we'll see how that will last.

Mostly my problem is plucking out my pubic hairs and the hairs around my bellybutton. Both areas are completely red and sore and infected, but the plucking is so addictive that I can't stop, and often don't even want to stop. The only reason I do is because of what it does to my skin; it looks like I have an STD even though I'm clean.

Most people who have trich seem to pull from their scalp, but is there anyone out there who also pull from their pubic area? And if so, did you get over it and how?
