hi,

Don't shy away. Your doctor can understand you and your problem. We will help you to get rid of this.

If you are having problem of picking hairs.. it is called trochotillomania and is seen among many girls of your age.

It has definitive treatment with medicines and psychotherapy which will help you lead a happier life.So please visit your doctor and stay healthy.
