Hi, I'm suffering com acute hair loss from my eyebrow, also my lashes scalp which is starting to recede.

Scalp and lashes grow back after addressing vitamin deficiency but the brows continue to shed.

I k or this thyroid and recently had T4 medication lowered.

I believe there may be a link with SHBG levels as they have fallen sharply over the past 4 years. The time scale in which the hair has been shedding.
