Treating trypophobia can be tricky, because it’s not a recognized disorder. Still, if a medical expert feels somebody is suffering from it, they might recommend a number of different options. In the case of the young girl, treatment with an antidepressant (sertraline) plus cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) resulted in a 25% improvement after five weeks (per Frontiers in Psychiatry).
According to Medical News Today, another common type of treatment for trypophobia is exposure therapy, also known as desensitization. Exposure therapy is exactly what it sounds like: a slow, well-managed, safe exposure to a phobia. This will help a patient learn how to deal with feelings and reactions when exposed to the fear. For this to work, it needs to be done at a pace the patient can handle. At first, just looking at a photo of the object might be all the person can do. The next step might include looking at a real-life product that would trigger the response, before the patient could tolerate a longer period of exposure, or even touch it (per Mayo Clinic).
Prescriptions, like sedatives, might also help with anxiety. There are also plenty of at-home techniques somebody with trypophobia could try, such as mindfulness and relaxation strategies.
