If you pluck out hairs once, they will grow back, even those that are in the early growth of a hair transplant. If you pluck it out 20 times, likely it will not grow back. I don’t know how many times it takes to reach the threshold when it doesn’t come back. Doctors see patients […]

Because these balding photos do not follow the Norwood scale photos of balding, I doubt that they are genetic. The diagnosis could likely be made with a hand microscope (trichoscope). These are the things that the physician should look for with a trichoscope. High on my list of diagnosis, is Alopecia Areata. Trichotillomania usually doesn’t […]
I had a bad hairline big forehead as a kid but when I finally came to high school my hairline became better and moved down a bit and the forehead didn’t look as big and i gained confidence until a barber messed me up horribly to the point my hairline wasn’t straight and looked it […]
There is a condition called Trichotillomania which is a good possible diagnosis. See a dermatologist who will look at it with a hand microscope called trichoscope and make the diagnosis for you. If it is chronic picking that you did that caused it, it may not return. You will know if you can stop picking […]
Taken from Wikipedia: Trichotillomania (TTM), also known as hair pulling disorder, is a mental disorder characterised by a long term urge that results in the pulling out of one’s hair.[2][4] This occurs to such a degree that hair losscan be seen.[2] Efforts to stop pulling hair typically fail.[1] Hair removal may occur anywhere; however, the head and around the eyes are most common.[1] The hair pulling is […]
I’m young (19) and had perfect hair growing up. However, I have had trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) develop in my teens (symptom of OCD) and now I’ve lost a lot of my hair. It’s concealable but I plan on maybe getting a transplant (FUE?) done at some point as I grow older since I’ve beat […]
Anxiety and Hair Loss You look in the mirror, and you don’t know how it happened. You comb through your hair after your shower, and several thick hairs fall out, settling within the bristles of your comb. You are experiencing hair loss and going prematurely bald. It’s not necessarily genetic. You have family members who […]
“Gently” rubbing eyebrows or just plainly washing your face and eyebrows (or any part of your body) should not damage the hair or cause hair loss. Habitual rubbing and pulling of hair over the long term such as in trichotillomania can cause permanent hair loss.
If you’re looking for tips on how to apply your eczema treatment, I suppose the National Eczema Association would be the place to start. They have videos and other treatment tips here.
The most common cause of loss of eyebrow hair is plucking of the hair. I realize you said that you aren’t pulling or plucking, but many people who do pull out their hair (including eyebrows) deny that they do it. This is an obsessive compulsive disorder called trichotillomania. If the loss of eyebrows are not […]
Picking at your scalp and/or hair causes traction alopecia. In some people, the picking gets so severe that a name to describe the process is worthy for your review — dermatillomania. I’m not about to diagnose you with this disorder over the web, but the hair could become permanently lost if you continue to pick […]
I don’t know the answer to your question, but I suspect it varies with the individual. Patients with trichotillomania pull hairs over long periods of time. Those people who pluck their eyebrows may be able to give us an answer.
If you pick at your scalp and repeat the process in the same area, you may lose hair permanently (see Trichotillomania Learning Center). So while I don’t know if you caused permanent loss, it’s doubtful at this point. Losing 100 hairs a day is normal, and since you didn’t comb or wash your hair for […]
The method of harvesting is not an issue in women who keep reasonably long hair. The cost differential might make a difference if you go the transplant route (FUT/strip will cost less per graft than FUE). Each technique has various pros and cons that we’ve written about before. People who pull at their hair and […]
Sometimes hair color and characteristics may vary in individuals. It can be totally normal. Kinked or coarse hairs do not forecast hair loss.
