Hello Doctor,
My eyebrows are falling out, maybe 6 a day! I’m worried. What should I do? I also have hair loss.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find below my response to your query.
As a dermatologist, I understand your concern about hair loss from your eyebrows and scalp. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, certain medical conditions or medications, and autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata.
Balanced Diet: Ensure your diet includes sufficient protein, vitamins, and minerals which are essential for hair growth. Foods rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, iron, selenium, and zinc can be particularly beneficial.
Manage Stress: High stress levels can contribute to hair loss. Techniques such as yoga, meditation, or other relaxation practices may be beneficial.
Regular Exercise: This promotes overall health and aids in healthy hair growth by boosting circulation.
Gentle Hair Care: Avoid roughly towel-drying your hair, as this can lead to breakage. Use a mild shampoo and conditioner suitable for your hair type.
If you've tried these steps without improvement, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider or a dermatologist. They can examine your scalp and eyebrows, discuss your medical history, and possibly conduct tests to identify the cause of your hair loss. Depending on the cause, treatments can range from topical or oral medications to procedures like hair transplantation.
Remember, it's important not to delay seeking medical advice, as early intervention is key in managing many types of hair loss.
Thanks
