My son had a patch on his head few years ago but did grow back now his eyebrow has half gone on the left and the right was is being affected too he also has the same patch in the back of his head. So distressing mostly for his eyebrow his due to start secondary school as you can imagine it's very distressing with all the remarks we getting we have been seen by dermatologist prescribed protopic for 3 months nothing has improved .

Any ideas how to cover eyebrows?

    White patches are the signs of Vitiligo. It is very hard to recover from this disease. You can visit skin specialist to treat this disease.

      There is NO recovery or treatment for this dosease, nor does it tend to make your hair fall out.
