I have a boyfriend who has been waking up each morning with more of his eyebrow hair missing. We don’t know what is going on. He went to the doctors and they just looked at him and told him it was stress related and sent him home. I don’t believe it’s stress related. Could there be something wrong with him. Only 1/3 of his eyebrow is left. The other looks like someone shaved it off. some of is hair is there the other is not.

The obvious answer is to see a good dermatologist. If the hair loss is very short term, it may come back, but a good doctor will check other parts of his body for hair loss (scalp, body hair) to make sure that this is not a systemic or autoimmune problem. Stress could cause him to pick out eyebrow hair, so be sure that this is not what he is doing.
