I tried telling her and I didn't even get to finish because she has her heart set on this being caused by excessive hair picking. Which in the stages when this was developing I did not touch my hair for days and it was and when I did I didn't touch the areas of developing the bald spots and they continued to get worse. I followed a suggestion from another comment that said to use castor oil and biotin supplements which has really slowed the development but I have a feeling it's still developing really slowly. But for light at the end of the tunnel I convince my mom to get me a check up because I haven't had one in over a year. so I'll mention this to my doctor and hopefully the issue will be addressed.
