Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Loss of hair from scalp as well as body is quiet a common condition called as alopecia aerata.
overgrowth of eyelashes and loss of hair cannot be related.
Both are different things.
Overgrowth of eyelashes are seen mainly in some genetic syndromes and sometimes in HIV infection.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
