What Causes Loss Of Hair Patch From Eyebrows In Children?
Question: My 8 year old girl seems to have lost a lot of hair from her eyebrows in the last 4 days she says it started itching last week
Brief Answer:
Madarosis - suggestions
Detailed Answer:
Hi....by what you quote that there's itching too...I feel that there could be an allergic component involved.
This is called Madarosis in scientific terminology.
The possibilities could be -
1. Atopic or allergic dermatitis.
2. Seborrheic dermatitis.
3. Ichthyosis
4. Frontal fibrosing alopecia
5. Psoriasis
6. Alopecia areata
I suggest you consult a dermatologist for this. She definitely needs evaluation.
