Trichotillomania.

This condition includes the pulling of hair in other locations of the body as well.

As a medical/psychological problem, it was first noted in medical literature in 1885. The term trichotillomania was first used by a dermatologist in France named François Henri Hallopeau in 1889.

It is currently being defined as an impulse control disorder, although this is does not have full consensus among the professionals on how to classify it. There is medical treatment with antidepressants and behavior modification treatment for the condition.
