I lived with someone who did this. It was the first time I had ever heard of it and OCD. She had a bald spot under her hair. She was under tremendous amounts of stress. She showed her mother the bald spot and her mother told a friend who just happened to read about this condition in a magazine. It was great timing. She went to a doctor, was put on medicine, and stopped pulling her hair.
