TLDR Self-induced hair loss should be considered in patients with androgenetic alopecia.
The document discusses trichoteiromania, a self-inflicted hair disorder, in the context of androgenetic alopecia. It presents 3 cases of male patients with androgenetic alopecia who also exhibited trichoscopic signs of trichoteiromania, such as brush-like ends or broom hairs. This association had not been previously reported in medical literature. The study highlights the importance of considering self-induced hair loss during follow-up visits for all types of alopecia, as hair loss is already a distressing condition for patients.
