Waking Up Each Morning With More Eyebrow Hair Gone
I have a boyfriend who has been waking up each morning with more of his eyebrow hair missing. We don’t know what is going on. He went to the doctors and they just looked at him and told him it was stress related and sent him home. I don’t believe it’s stress related. Could there be something wrong with him. Only 1/3 of his eyebrow is left. The other looks like someone shaved it off. some of is hair is there the other is not.
The obvious answer is to see a good dermatologist. If the hair loss is very short term, it may come back, but a good doctor will check other parts of his body for hair loss (scalp, body hair) to make sure that this is not a systemic or autoimmune problem. Stress could cause him to pick out eyebrow hair, so be sure that this is not what he is doing.
My mother had this same thing. After some research the doctor concluded she had a slow working thyroid (hypothyroidism). This eyebrow symptom is (or can be) related to slow thyroids. The part of the eyebrows closer to the nose remains, while the sideparts fall out mostly. If this is the case, i would ask the doctor to see if he has the same thing (can be seen in bloodttests, not a big problem if you have it since daily pills with the propher amount thyroid hormone totally solve the problem)
