Perifollicular emorragia, distorted hair follicles, and pigment casts are in keeping with Trichotillomania alopecia. Unfortunately I am not sure about the not scarring nature of this lesion...but agree with Colleagues.

Pigment casts can be seen in both trichotillomania and alopecia areata. The lack of telogen/catagen increase, makes me favor trichotillomania or post operative alopecia, although the top right of fig seem to have peribulbar inflammation.
