Eyebrow Loss/Change in Color
by cames44, Jul 10, 2008 11:48AM
Hello,
I'm a 28 yr old male and have noticed over the past few months that the end of my left eyebrow is thinning. I've also noticed over the past year or so that the some of the eyebrow hairs are changing from dark brown to blonde (on both eyebrows). I've been very slowly losing the hair on my scalp for 6 - 7 yrs now, typical male battern baldness. I've had my thyroid checked during a recent checkup and it was normal. Any idea what could be causing this?
Thank You.

How are you? It is good that your thyroid is normal. Loss of eyebrow can be due to: aging, infections, endocrine diseases, chemotherapy/ medications, autoimmune disorders, skin growths or common skin diseases such as seborrhea, psoriasis, eczema or contact dermatitis. (http://www.dermadoctor.com/pages/newsletter124.asp) It is best to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management of this condition.Take care and keep us posted.
