Does anyone have hair loss also from the eyeborws? Do you have also itching before the hair falls out?

    Yes I do! Also my legs are smooth after 7 months and I rarely have to shave my underarms.

    Yes I had pretty bad hair loss around the time I got diagnosed. I had telogen effluvium for 1 1/2 years. My eyebrows thinned a bit too. My scalp burned as well. Plaquenil helped the burning scalp some but my hair hasn't come back. I still have hair just not as much as before-probably about half as much. You might want to try some clobetasol solution or ketoconazole shampoo to control irritation.

    I lost the fronts of my eyebrows. I itch so much all over that it's hard to single out one area yet, right before I opened the email notice of your post, I was scratching my right eyebrow.

    Someone else mentioned not having underarm hair. I've been wondering if I still have any or if it's just gone white. No one in this house has young enough eyes to tell. I still have hair on my legs but it grows much more slowly, a very good thing since the skin is too fragile for further shaving.
