I actually have trichotillomania, an impulse control disorder where I pull my hair without realizing it. I was prescribed locoid to ease the skin irritation that resulted from pulling, and the steroid in it promotes faster hair regrowth-which is a great motivator to stop pulling. I still pull, but seeing the results of locoid help me do it less. Also excellent for alopecia, a condition where hair falls out. Published: November 17, 2008 ::
