I have a rough patch of skin on the top of my head.

A small bald spot formed but I think it’s from me picking at it but I’m wondering what this could mean, I’ve felt this on top of my head for months now but it doesn’t itch or anything. I have a feeling it’s just from me messing with my hair as a self comforting thing.

@saturnite looks like you have been pulling your hair out. I think the condition is called trichotillomania …?
