Brief Answer: Kindly follow the sugestions below Detailed Answer: Hello madam, Welcome again to the forum. Thanks for providing all the relevant details of you query. After correlating all the facts I can make out that the hair hall is generalized process form the scalp to the eyebrows and pubic areas. It is too early to make a diagnosis without a physical examination but even then I would like to suggest you to help out in getting rid of this problem. The very first thing I want to suggest you is to go for a complete blood count including hemoglobin. Many a times we have seen that due to low hemoglobin concentration (known as anemia) there is a fall of hair as expressed in your case. In my own clinical experience anemia is one of the most common cause of long term hair fall. Secondly I further suggest you to go for thyroid profile- including T3, T4 and TSH. It is because of the fact that losing hair especially near eyebrows is most commonly expressed in low thyroid status. Lastly it can be due to a condition known as alopecia areata- an autoimmune condition where there is loss of hair due to autoimmune process to the hair roots For the treatment part : I suggest you to start iron supplementation by medication. You must take at least 2-3 months of course of iron tablet daily. Additionally a tablet containing biotin would be very much helpful in for at least 2-3 months of time. If the thyroid profile is showing any derangement then you would require proper thyroid treatment. In case of you do not see any improvement then it would require personalized close examination to see this entity of problem by a dermatologist. I further suggest you to take best of your diet containing good amount of protein, vitamins and minerals in form of fruits, green vegetables and sprouts. I hope all these informations will help you. If you have nay further queries I would be glad to help. With regards, Dr Sanjay MD
