Might help for others
Hello,
I have been pulling for over 10 years off at the back top of my scalp and on and so far only one medication has really helped at this point. Might not work for everyone but Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment seemed to help with the itching on my scalp that makes me want to pull. I'm not sure how well it helped my hair actually regrow but it did help numb the area and keep me from touching it, especially right after I put the drops on since I don't have the urges when my hair is damp.
I have been applying itch creams (some combination of benadryl generic equivalent or hydrocortisone) each night for the past week before going to bed + taking 5000 mcg biotin pills [to try to improve hair growth and damage nails] and so far have not been scratching/pulling for one week, but will definitely consider Monixidil if that works better.
I will go buy Minoxidil as well and give it a try. I'm trying to regrow the hair by Oct 7 for my friend's wedding. [I've been using biotin supplements since I have a purple toe from tennis injury and bad fingernails from handling equipment at work.]
