Hello everyone. I am an 18 year old male and for the last few months I have been having some problems with my eyebrows.
My eyebrows are thinning for no apparent reason, and they fall out sometimes if i touch them. A few months ago, my right eyebrow started to form a bald patch, but then it grew back in roughly a month or so. It has done it again the same patch. I can see tiny little hairs on the patch so does that mean the hair focile isnt dead and will grow back again? Also on my left eyebrow there seems to be some dry skin building up and every so often it starts to itch. What can i do here to prevent the itching and dry skin occuring?
I would appreciate any help as it's really annoying me and wearing my self esteem down. Thanks.

You need to go see a doctor.
Have you been exposed to alot of sunlight?
Have you used any different soap, shampoos, or anything different?
You could have a rash, skin irritation, or just plain old dry skin.

Have your thyroid checked. What you describe is a classic symptom of hypothyroidism.
