: You mean you lost scalp hair long time ago and now you are losing body hair (eyebrow, facial, pubic hair), is it correct? If that is the case, you suffers from alopecia totalis or universalis. Treatment is limited but you should consult a dermatologist. Fortunately, most cases resolve spontaneously within a year.
