Eye brows falling out

[Anonymous]

I’m 46 and I don’t know what happened to my eye brows but they are so thin! And now there’s a big chunk out of one with a bare spot! What happened? Is this hormones? A product I’m using? What can I do? I have used grandebrow in the past but I’m not sure I was diligent enough. Castor oil? Microblading? I’m so sad about this!

Get thyroid bloodwork.

This happened to me once in my mid twenties. Whole chunk disappeared. Eventually grew back just as it had fallen out. Worth following up on at this age.

Do you drink a lot and often? All my friends who are big drinkers are losing their body hair. It's very odd.

Your eyebrows falling out is a sign that there is something seriously wrong with your health. Probably thyroid but check Ferritin as well. Take Magnesium, Sea Buckthorn and iron pills.

How's your thyroid? Any other health issues?

Just to be safe, I'd consider starting with a doctor visit and going from there before trying to resolve on your own. It can be aging, hormones, thyroid, etc.

Thinning brows are normal as you age, chunks out might be something else. First double check your health, then go for microblading.

I've always had thin brows, but now in my 40s it's aging me. I bought one of those online eyelash serums and I guess it's doing something. I apply the eyelash serum to my eyebrows in the evenings during my nightly routine.

Start with checking your thyroid. Also do vitamin D and ferritin. My eyebrows lost their outer third and that was the first symptom of hypothyroidism. I have my levels back on track but sadly my eyebrows never regained their original lushness.

+1 to hypothyroidism.

Obvi get a health check, but I use Revitabrow for this.

For me there was nothing medical just moving into my 40's. I use The Ordinary's brow serum as it doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin, and I have been pleased with the results.

Id speak to your Derm or Primary Dr on this.

Hair loss like that is serious!! You need to make an appt with your primary asap. It could be anything from your thyroid to leukaemia.

Op here. Oh my god, am I dying? I just saw my primary and he didn’t call me about anything unusual in my bloodwork but I’ll call and make an appt to discuss.
