Patient's question:
Please check the trace elements carefully, and see if shaving is helpful for trichotillomania. The child is nine years old, and the trichotillomania has been going on for a month. Any good suggestions? I want to take him to polish shoes today, get a buzz cut, and buy a hat.Doctor's answer:
Trichotillomania may be related to a child's anxiety and excessive mental stress! It's still best to take the child for psychological counseling, as this can help them open up! If the child's symptoms aren't severe, you can try to pay more attention to them, listen patiently to their thoughts, and avoid scolding them. You can also rub ginger on the affected area and eat more black sesame seeds or similar foods! The above advice is for the question "Is it helpful to shave the head for trichotillomania if trace element tests are normal?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
