Anything is possible. If you scratch it, you may be pulling out hairs and eventually this will lead to permanent hair loss. You can treat it topically with a low dose steroid (1/2% hydrocortisone cream) about three applications a week, 12 hours apart. This can be purchased over the counter and is safe, unless you […]
If you feel that the medications you are taking may be contributing to your progressive hair loss, then you should should discuss stopping them with the doctor who prescribed them. You problem sounds complex, certainly too complex for internet management. Be sure that your medical work up is complete and covers eczema, malnutrition, autoimmune disease, […]
When I was in residency training I saw a middle aged bus driver who had a sebaceous cyst on her buttock. It bothered her while she worked, sitting on her bus driver seat. I apologize if this is too graphic, but she finally came to see me when it was the size of a big […]

There are many reasons for eyebrow hair loss, including hypothyroidism, plucking, trichotillomania, psoriasis with scratching, dermatitis, infection, any inflammation process, and a series of autoimmune problems including alopecia areata/totalis. Using hair at the occipital area to transplant by single strands to the eyebrow areas is the best way to do it. Dandruff is not the […]

Rogaine should not grow eyebrow hair where there is none. A dermatologist would help you with the correlation between pubic and eyebrow hair, if any. The physician will know what to ask you to help make a diagnosis.
This is the sort of question that requires a patient to prioritize. Which is more important? Having hair in your eyebrows or having it the right color? Bear in mind that coloring your hair, whether on one’s eyebrows or somewhere else, is a cheap and easy process. Transplanting hair is not. One last thought is […]
Yes, eyebrows can be dyed just like any hair on your body. There are a number of good products. Check with your hair stylist.
Hair transplants are a good fix for this as they can fill in the gap of your eyebrow. I do not believe any medicine will help in your case. Some examples of eyebrow transplants can be found here, here, and here. For past blog entries about eyebrow transplantation, please click here.
You can decrease the diameter of the hair follicle (make it finer) by damaging it in a controlled manner during the transplant procedure. This may reduce the survival of some of the hairs, but the procedure works well only in very experienced hands.

Most eyebrow transplants come from the scalp. I am assuming that the surgeon who did your eyebrow transplants put them in the correct direction and shallow enough to lay flat. Eyebrow transplants are a real art and they must be delicate and made up largely of single hairs. Assuming that everything was done correctly, your […]
Eyebrow hair loss can be from a series of causes. The most common is from plucking the eyebrow in women who try to shape it and eventually develop traction alopecia resulting in permanent loss of the eyebrow hair.
