Which eyebrow hair fall treatment helps strengthen roots?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My eyebrow hair root is very weak. After washing my face with water and wiping it with a cotton cloth, I find that 5 to 10 eyebrows are falling daily.

Please suggest to me a treatment (medicine, capsules, or oil) for firm eyebrow roots.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand that your problem could be disconcerting, and it can be resolved. Do you have dandruff or any other issues on the scalp or eyebrows?

If so, treatment should be directed at that. Also, please attach a photo of the same taken in bright light and sharp focus. We can decide on the appropriate treatment based on the above.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

When I was 16-years-old, I shaved and plucked my eyebrow unknowingly near the nose. But the remaining eyebrow root is very weak. I want to make the eyebrow root strong for the future.

I had never plucked the remaining eyebrows. Yes, dandruff is seen, and it increases during the winter season. Please suggest to me medicine, oil, shampoo, or a tablet.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If you have dandruff, I would suggest you start using Ketoconazole shampoo weekly, once over the scalp and eyebrows. Leave it for 10 minutes and wash it off. Slight thinning of the eyebrows seen from your photograph appears normal for me (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

If you are too concerned, you can apply Minoxidil three percent solution daily at night over the eyebrows alone. It could cause good growth of hair in a month.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
