What Can Cause Pulling Out Of Eye Lashes And Eyebrows?
My grandson has pulled out all his eyelashes and now is pulling out his eyebrows. They recently moved to a new location and we are not sure if that may be the reason for this situation. He also was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrom years ago but recently the doctor at their new location felt that my not be the proper diagnosis. They are in the process of conducting various tests. Perhaps you can shed some light on why he is participating in pulling of his eyebrows and eyelashes. Also, do they grow back? Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

This is a habbit disorder. Consult pshychiatrist examination and counselling. Athome parents can also give counselling. The child will improve.
