What Could Cause Eyebrow Thinning?
Hello,
I’ve been suffering from eyebrow hair loss for a while now. It started last year summer time when I started noticing my eyebrow losing hairs starting from the outer edge. As time progressed, both my eyebrows lost hair to the point where I only have 3/4 of both my eyebrows. Eventually, I started losing eyebrow hair from the inner area. Currently my right eyebrow isn’t as bad but my left eyebrow is noticeably changed a lot. It looks like as if I only have a patch of hair left, near the inner eyebrow area. I understand that it will be difficult to diagnose without meeting you but what do you think is causing my eyebrow hair loss and how to I stop or slow it down?
Unfortunately, many men and women experience eyebrow thinning as they age. It may just be age related, but it can also be an infectious process or a hormonal issue. Many also pull at their eyebrows, even without realizing it, and that can be a cause of the loss of hair as well.
Eyebrow transplants work very well in the right surgeon’s hands.
I know losing the outer third of your eyebrow is a common symptom of Hypothyroidism also.
