I always pick at my head, is this a bad thing and are there others like me?

Question

I pick at my head a lot. I don't bleed or anything, it just feels really good when i pick at my head and sometimes i get a little piece with a hair attached to it. I do it sometimes when I'm bored or just laying around. are there others like me, and will this cause me to lose hair earlier and perhaps damage my scalp so that it would look really bad if i were to go bald? Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer 5

Everyone has some or another odd trait.. some pull hairs (like you), some dig into noses, and others indulge in lot unsavory activities. As long as you are not being a social nuisance and medically hurting urself, a little idiosyncrasy never hurt anyone. And oh... why dont you check out with a trichopathologist to find our why ur hair are giving away. Perhaps a good scalp treatment is on the cards!

Answer 12

wow people are so bitter

I used to do it when I was little, but my sister made fun of me all the time which led me to stop. and I'm not embarrassed by admitting this c:

My advice would be to will yourself to stop doing it, or get someone to nag you until you quit. dont worry, i think lots of people do it- they just dont want to admit it

Answer 13

Some people have there own habit and its ur habit its not a bad thing if u feels good

Answer 14

wow people are mean.

anyways. You probably shouldn't. I do this alot myself. I find myself messing with my head. It can cause scabs and other such things. If you can quit it, then do so, its like biting your nails, its not REALLY bad..but you shouldn't do it.

Answer 15

sounds like a reaction from illegal drugs.crack or meth.if you need help nows the time to ask for it.

Answer 16
