It can be scarring or non-scarring, depending upon what causes it.

A study reported 76% of people with multibacillary Leprosy to have Madarosis.

The reasons that might lead you to lose your eyebrow hair could be varied.

Keep reading to know more about the causes of eyebrow hair loss<\/a> and how to deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Good to know<\/div>
The term Madarosis was originally introduced to denote hair loss of the eyelashes due to the destruction of hair follicles.<\/p>\n

But now, it encompasses both eyelashes and eyebrows. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Conditions causing eyebrow hair loss<\/h2>\n\n\n

A lot of conditions can lead to the loss of eyebrow hair.

Discussed below are some of those causes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Alopecia areata<\/h3>\n\n\n

It is an auto-immune condition that targets the hair follicles.

In an auto-immune condition, the immune system wrongly attacks your own body.

Alopecia areata attacks<\/a> the hair follicles from where individual hairs grow. 

This slows or stops hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nutrient deficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n

A deficiency of essential nutrients, such as fatty acids, vitamins, etc., can lead to changes in hair and skin.

The changes to hair are not limited<\/a> to the scalp but involve other body parts too, including eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)<\/h3>\n\n\n

It is an inflammation of the skin causing redness, itching, irritation, and oozing fluid.

An overly sensitive immune system triggers Eczema.

It either shows up as an ongoing condition or a one-time flare-up.

Since hair follicles are in the skin, Eczema might interfere with proper hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n

Psoriasi<\/h3>\n\n\n

It is another auto-immune disorder that causes rapid multiplication of skin cells.

As a result, the skin becomes red and gets thick, scaly patches.

These patches block<\/a> the hair follicles and inhibit hair growth. <\/p>\n\n\n

Contact dermatitis<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Contact
Contact dermatitis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Contact dermatitis happens when an allergen or a toxic irritant comes into contact with the skin. 

You might feel itchy or like your skin is on fire. 

If the affected area is near your eyebrows, the inflammation may stop hair from growing there.<\/p>\n\n\n

Seborrheic dermatitis<\/h3>\n\n\n

It is an ongoing condition caused either by the overproduction of oil in the skin or by a fungus.

Seborrheic dermatitis leads to<\/a> dandruff on the scalp and even eyebrows. 

Loss of eyebrow hair can be seen due to damage to hair follicles by continuous scratching and itching.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tinea capitis (Scalp ringworm)<\/h3>\n\n\n

It is also a kind of fungal infection affecting the scalp and hair of your child.

Tinea capitis can be non-inflammatory or inflammatory.

The fungi causing the conditions often enter the hair shafts che colpisce<\/a> the eyelashes and eyebrows.<\/p>\n\n\n

Thyroid issues<\/h3>\n\n\n

One of the symptoms of Thyroid is hair loss.

The thyroid glands produce hormones to regulate your metabolism.

Over or under the production of these hormones disrupts the body’s normal processes.

This includes<\/a> hair growth.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hansen’s disease<\/h3>\n\n\n

Hansen’s disease, also called Leprosy, is a bacterial disease.

It manifests as sores all over the skin.

It is one of the major<\/a> causes of the loss of eyebrows.

This hair loss is seen in the advanced stages of the condition or in case the patient gets tuberculoid lesions over the brows.<\/p>\n\n\n

Trichotillomania<\/h3>\n\n\n

Also known as a hair-pulling disorder, it is a kind of impulse control disorder.

People with this condition have an uncontrollable urge to pull out their hair from the scalp, eyebrows, or eyelashes.

It is triggered by anxiety and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n

Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause<\/h3>\n\n\n

Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can also tweak the balance of your hormones and disrupt the hair growth cycle.

This might lead to<\/a> an abnormal amount of hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n

Telogen effluvium (TE)<\/h3>\n\n\n

It is one of the most common causes of hair loss<\/a>.

TE is said to happen when there is a change in the number of hair follicles actively growing hair.

While TE is mostly limited to the scalp, in severe cases, it can affect<\/a> the eyebrows or pubic area as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Aging<\/h3>\n\n\n

There is a noticeable natural decline in the levels of hormones in your body as you age.

The fall in the level of the hormones can affect the hair follicles<\/a>.

This might cause the hair to become thinner and even stop growing.<\/p>\n\n\n

Chemotherapy<\/h3>\n\n\n

Chemotherapy is one of the treatments for cancer.

These medicines are powerful and attack the speedily growing cancer cells.

But these medicines also attack your hair roots, causing hair loss.

This hair loss is not limited<\/a> to the scalp.

Sometimes, hair from your eyebrows, eyelashes, armpit, pubic hair, and other body parts also falls off.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hypotrichosis<\/h3>\n\n\n

It is a rare condition<\/a> that affects hair growth on the head, eyebrows, and other parts of the body where hair usually grows.

The hair becomes dry, coarse, and curled in this condition and is fragile, making it prone to breakage.

Over time, the condition of the hair may remain stable or deteriorate to complete hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA)<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"A

FFA is a form of scarring alopecia<\/a> typically affecting post-menopausal women.

It is believed that hormones can partially cause FFA as it affects post-menopausal women. 

It also occurs along with genetic hair loss<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n
