Hi Anon - Like Rosa, I too am concerned about you as your question seems to be saying that you're pulling out your hair to the follicle level. This could indicate that you have a disorder called Trichotillomania which is an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body. The symptoms usually begin before the age of 17. If this is what you're dealing with it would be best to seek support from your healthcare provider to better understand and deal with the condition. Here are some links that will help:
