A member asked:
Hi, i have a habit of pulling out my eyebrow hairs and have a small patch where there's no hair on each side. how long will it take to grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be permanent : Unfortunately if the follicle has been permanently destroyed. An off label option could be trying restasis which can restart the growth phase of the hair follicle. I have tried this in my chemotherapy patients and have seen some benefit but there are no studies to support it.
