Does Walker have trichotillomania?

[PCIntern]

Irregular asymmetrical patch of scalp on one side (R). Some people say that it is pathognomonic for the condition. Lookitup in your Funk and Wagnall's. Interesting condition...

1. I hadn't noticed the patch but it certainly is supicious for the condition

You know the man is under massive stress right now, caught between the Koch brothers pulling his strings and the majority of his fellow citizens who want to string him up. Having something like this resurface would not be unusual.

5. youtube is the best source for video

but weirdly, there's a post from someone on one of the sites (bitches on a bus) which says that all his bald-spot pics are scrubbed from Google Images.

8. He could have an off-center vertex. Everything else about him is off center. Although

it does not appear to be a clean balding spot. You might be right.

13. Trichotillomania is 'an obsession with hair, or the pulling of' ..

... or the phobia of. So people who have it tend to be loathe to HAVING hair. And with any obsession or addiction, one will tend to develop habits to 'fulfill their obsession' without it being noticed, ie pull hair from where it can't be seen.

Been there, done that.

14. My dad was an oral surgeon. He told me about a case he had that was so bad...

The woman dug a hole into her own skull with her obsessively probing and scratching fingers. Ugh.
