The history of BFRBD treatment
Published in Stacy K. Nakell, Treatment for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, 2023
Ultimately, in many cases, the focus on behavioral change had the unintended side effect of creating more shame about the behaviors. It is difficult to capture in words the devastation of growing out one’s eyelashes for months only to pull them all out in a pulling relapse binge. These sorts of highs and lows can be incredibly discouraging and embarrassing and will certainly interfere with the treatment process. It became clear to many clinicians and researchers that self-compassion must be included in the mix, and those body-focused behaviors needed to be understood as coping strategies rather than problems to be eradicated.

There are points to avoid [97]: Do not apply false eyelashes, because the glue can irritate the skin. Also, do not use an eyelash curler on existing eyelashes.Do not use eyelash mask daily, since it does not facilitate perspiration of the hair, and the additional weight can cause them to fall out.
Human Development and Its Theories

At 16 weeks, teeth buds have formed and fingernails are forming. By 18–20 weeks, an ultrasound scan should be able to identify the sex if the baby is in a position that allows the genitals to be seen. At 20 weeks, bone is forming from cartilage. Hair and eyelashes are also present. The mother can feel the baby moving. At six months, the fetus’s brain activity becomes similar to that of a newborn baby, and the baby’s skin is covered by a protective paste called vernix. In the eighth and ninth months, the baby stores fat and approximately doubles in weight. This additional body fat will help the newborn adjust to changing temperatures outside the womb. It also contributes to the newborn’s chubby appearance. As birth approaches, growth slows and the fetus’s body systems become more active.

Eyelashes (cilia) protect the eye from potential incoming danger through the reflective response, defend the eye against particles using its curved shape, help to keep the moisture of the eye by minimizing airflow, filter out sunlight, and provide natural beauty. There are typically 2–3 rows of lashes on each lid rim. The upper eyelashes differ in number (100–150), length (8–12 mm), and shape (curved upward) compared to the lower ones (50–75 and 6–8 mm, respectively). With a normal lifetime of 5–12 months, the eyelashes grow ~0.15 mm per day, depending on age and the physical health of individuals. The eyelashes are housed in the muscular layer and are typically concomitant with two glands of Zeis (modified sebaceous gland) and often the apocrine gland of Moll (a modified sweat gland).24

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a primary cicatricial alopecia, initially described by Kossard in 1994 (1). It is characterized by progressive frontotemporal and eyebrows’ hair loss, perifollicular erythema, and hyperkeratosis; however, it can affect the entire margin of the scalp. Loss of body hair and eyelashes may also occur (2). Although FFA is more frequent among postmenopausal women, premenopausal women and rarely men may also be affected. The exact pathogenesis of FFA has not been understood so far; inflammatory cells infiltration within the hair follicle bulge – where the stem cells are located – may lead to permanent hair loss. Defective lipid metabolism, deficiency in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-c-mediated signaling, and proinflammatory cytokines such as interferons have been proposed to contribute to FFA pathogenesis (3).
Effectiveness of benzyl benzoate treatment on clinical symptoms and Demodex density over time in patients with rosacea and demodicosis: a real life retrospective follow-up study comparing low- and high-dose regimens

Patients were instructed to wash the face twice a day using a handcloth and a mild soap and, after 2 or 3 min, when the skin is dry, to apply the topical cream all over the face and neck, avoiding the eyelashes and lips. The prescribed BB treatment regimens varied over time as we gained experience with the different regimens in our practice and received feedback from our patients. Hence, in our earlier patients, treated from 2002, we recommended that they applied a cream composed of 10% crotamiton in the morning, and another composed of 12% BB and 10% crotamiton in the evening (‘12%BB 1x/d’); different excipients were used (carbopol gel, cetylic cream, cosmetic cream, therapeutic magistral form (TMF) cetomacrogol cream). From October 2006, we prescribed a cream composed of 12% BB and 10% crotamiton (in TMF cetomacrogol cream) twice a day (‘12%BB 2x/d’). Finally, from May 2010, we prescribed a moisturizing cream in the morning and a cream composed of 20–24% BB (with 10% crotamiton in TMF cetomacrogol cream) in the evening (‘BB20%1x/d’). Over time, we also introduced various refinements to improve tolerance (e.g. to apply the cream early in the evening and not just prior to going to sleep (which prevents the cream from accidentally getting into the eyes), and to apply a thin layer of cream for the first few weeks and a thicker layer afterwards).
