What Causes Eyebrow Loss?

I am 61 yr old woman. I have lost the outer 1/3 of my eyebrows. I have had a hormone issue all my life but never sent for thyroid tests. 1977 had to take Gluma to produce eggs. I also take gabapentin, and some anti seizure meds cause eyebrow loss, but can t find a connection between gabies and hair loss. I take them for pain.

Hi,

The loss of lateral one-third of an eyebrow could be due to hypothyroidism. So I suggest you investigate with serum TSH estimation, free T4 estimation for further work up.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
