Maybe I will try gloves. The thing is, I have lost hope for a lot of things that I just don't care about my physical well being (I'm sure the trich is wreaking havoc on my hormones, and I heard you could get cancer when your body is always growing hair and skin abnormally, etc) or mental wellbeing that much. My trich isn't overwhelmingly unbearable, so I've just let the problem continue....
