A member asked:
Can any of the medications my aunt is on cause total hair loss (even eyebrows)? please see attached medication list.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I am not aware of these as side effects. She may have been exposed or taken something else to cause these problems. She also could have developed an undetected thyroid condition. This is easily tested for occurance.

How do I stop my eyebrow hair loss? It was caused by using retinol cream which I stopped immediately after. Only my eyebrows have been falling for four months now. Is this telogen effluvium? Am I deficient in any vitamins? Any thyroid or iron issues?
