Ebrows

by Boot1282, May 07, 2009 07:07PM
My ebrow are falling out. The skin is discolored with white faking scap.What do you think is causing this? My dermatologist did a biopsy because he thought it was lupus but that was not the case.

Hello,
Eyebrow hair loss can be due to excessive plucking, rubbing eyebrows from habit, or vigorously applying eyebrow pencil,medical conditions like telogen effluvium,thyroid conditions,autoimmune diseases or skin diseases like eczema and psoriasis.As you are having flaking of the skin,so telogen effluvium and eczema needs evaluation.

I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist for this. Treatment is diagnosis specific.

I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Warm regards.
