This article is about studies done on mice with ulcerative dermatitis, which is being compared to skin picking and trichotillomania in humans. The mice received either N-Acetylcysteine in their drinking water or intranasal glutathione, which healed the mice in 2-4 weeks. Although N-Acetylcysteine took about twice the amount of time to heal the mice as intranasal, it seemed to work better. However, it seems that human patients don’t necessarily react too well. According to the article, there is still much research to be done, but it seems like they are making some sort of progress.
