What Causes An Extra Long Eyelash To Turn White?
Hey, I am 24 yrs old. A few months back I noticed that all of a sudden, one of my eyelashes had grown really long. So I trimmed it to match with the rest but the lower half was white! And it is growing back white. I have cut it twice as close to skin as possible. Tried plucking it out, but it s deeply rooted so couldn t go through. What s with this sudden growth? It s just one. Rest all are still black and the original length.

Hello,
It could be an ingrown eyelash. You can consult an ophthalmologist and plan for epilation.
