I've been noticing my eyebrow hairs falling out a lot lately. Every time I touch my eyebrow, a couple of hairs come out. Just yesterday, I noticed a small bald spot on my right eyebrow. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Small bald spot on eyebrow with hairs falling out could be due to a condition called alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to hair loss. In this case, I would recommend using Minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected area to promote hair growth. Additionally, you can use a topical corticosteroid cream like Clobetasol propionate 0.05% once daily to reduce inflammation and encourage hair regrowth. If the condition persists, it is important to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
