Interesting, i am losing hair in unusual places too. I suffer from thinning on the sides and eyebrow hairloss. My guess is most likelly a thyroid problem, stress or a vitamin deficiency. In my case however i think it is down to either thyroid or stress as i take plenty of suppliments.

I had that when i started finasteride, weird...loads of eyelashes came out, it was really annoying as it mainly went in my eye... try grabbing hold of the hair behind your ear, the hair there comes out really easily. It will go away so no need to worry about it to much

Not sure mate, it seemed to go on for a while, but i stopped paying attention to it...it never got to a point where i got bald eyelashes, seriously, i would not worry to much about it

king and follicle84 , tell me when you get your test results , because I also have abnormal shedding on my eyebrows/eyelashes and even my pubic area! Also my sides are thinning too...

I got my bloods taken a while back , I was told they were normal , never asked bout the thyroid though..

I've been shedding since I can remember , my eyebrows and eyelashes seem to shed a lot but there seems to be a limit. Like, my eyebrows have got thinner but they aren't getting any worse. As for my pubic hair , well thats just funked up , lost like 1/3rd of them in a week.

Just though i'd mention my eyebrow hair came back. I think the change in hormones in my body simply caused them to shed as a result of shock in the body, who knows.
