Alopecia of the Eyebrow?
About a year ago I began to feel very small growths in my eyebrows. I consulted my dermatologist and was told that I had melia in my brows. They eventually worked their way out of the skin, and appeared hard and white. The melia stopped after a few months, but then I began to have itchy and red eyebrows. Bit by bit my brows became thinner and thinner. I took anti inflammatory injections, however they did not stop the thinning. I have had dark and thick lashes all my life and I am baffled as to what course of action I should take. I am 57 years old and a brow transplant seems the only answer, but since my doctor diagnosed alopecia of the eyebrow would a transplant even work? Are there any topical creams that have shown promise, or are there any medications I should try first?
Hair transplant to the eyebrow works but you seem to describe a skin condition and you need to follow-up with your dermatologist. I do not know how to help you without seeing you myself or getting copies of your doctor’s opinion.
