View allI've been noticing my eyebrow hairs falling out a lot lately. Every time I touch my eyebrow, a couple of hairs come out. Just yesterday, I noticed a small bald spot on my right eyebrow. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
Small bald spot on eyebrow with hairs falling out could be due to a condition called alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to hair loss. In this case, I would recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected area to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol propionate 0.05% once daily to reduce inflammation and encourage hair regrowth. If the condition persists, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about the sudden hair loss I've been experiencing. It all started around four years ago after I shaved my head for a few months. Since then, only about half of my hair has come back, and the hair loss just hasn't stopped. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

I've been struggling with continuous hair fall for the past four years, and I'm really concerned about what's happening. I even consulted with Dr. Batra for a couple of years and tried professional treatments, but nothing seems to be helping. What could be going wrong? I'm looking for some guidance on what I should do next.
Hair fall can be due to various reasons such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions. In your case, since you have already tried treatments without success, I recommend trying minoxidil solution (brand name Rogaine) twice daily on the scalp. Additionally, you can consider taking finasteride (brand name Propecia) 1mg daily to help with hair regrowth. It is important to use these medications consistently for at least 6 months to see results. Make sure to consult a dermatologist before starting any new treatment.
