Abstract

Complete blood counts, peripheral smear, liver function test, thyroid function test, fasting lipid profile, fasting and post-prandial blood glucose were all within normal limits. Following this, she showed good improvement with regrowth of eyebrow hair in about three months along with disappearance of the waxy papules and regression of facial thickening[Figure 1]c and d. Later, the patient was non-compliant with medication because of which there was a recurrence of eyebrow loss though there was no thickening of skin or papules. Some of the common causes of madarosis include infections like staphylococccal blepharitis and leprosy, endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism, drugs, auto-immune conditions like alopecia areata and trauma.
