What Causes Hair Loss On Eyebrows, Arms And Legs?

All my eyebrows are falling out...as well as the hair on my arms and legs. I m 53 and am through menopause. I fear the hair on my head is next. My thyroid (left lobe) was removed in 2007. My TSH levels have been: May 16 2.34 Jan 16 2.23 (missing a few years) Nov 13 1.76 Sept. 13 0.858 I had an ANA test from my Dermatologist that came back negative I have NO autoimmune issues. I am at a very healthy weight and exercise every day. Any ideas??? Thanks very much, sara in Alaska

Hello,

Eyebrow hair loss causes. If one or both eyebrows are thinning, it could be due to infection, skin conditions, hormonal changes, or an overactive immune system. Nutritional deficiencies, physical trauma, or emotional stress can also cause diminishing brows.

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

Take care

Regards,
