Loss of hair on the eyebrow in a child

[NicolaMarise]

My 8 year old daughter is loosing hair in the inner portion of her eyebrow. It started with one eyebrow 3 to 4 months back and I thought she pulled hair from her eyebrow. Now the 2nd eyebrow is also loosing hair. I've made an appointment with the dermatologist but it will take a few days, in the meanwhile any home remedies I can follow? I am really worried about the hair loss.

I have lost my eyebrows slowly over several years. Now, the right one is nearly gone and left one starting to disappear. They are thinning from the nose and outwards. I have been to several doctors and they all just say they have never seen anything like it, and that they dont think it is Alopecia or telogen, because I only loose eyebrow hair (none on the head+ not in spots, but diffuse). Doctors have checked all; vitamin levels, thyroid tests etc..all come back clear. I have been under MAJOR stress for several years (with almost constant heartbeat/ adrenaline rush + following fatigue. I wonder if this can be the reason for the hair loss? My other assumption is some autoimmune disorder. Doctors checked for it, autoimmune tests came back clear, except one of the "general autoimmunes»that came back positive, but my doctor said also many people without a autoimmune disorder got a positive result on that one. I take no medicine, otherwise healthy (except the fatigue and heartbeat/ adrenalin rushes), low on B12 and D-vitamin, but take supplements. Any experiences/ ideas what is wrong with me? Is this due to stress? Have any experienced regrowth after years of thinning brows? Should I try to get a further check for autoimmune disorder?

Any updates on your daughters condition?

I have exact the same condition and have lost my eyebrows too slowly over several years. Now, the right one is nearly gone and left one starting to disappear.
