What are the reasons for a child losing their eyebrows and eyelashes?

Patient's question:

Basic Information: Male, 10 years old
Disease/Symptoms: Losing eyebrows and eyelashes
Description of Condition: My son is 10 years old. His eyebrows and eyelashes started to fall out three months ago and have now mostly fallen out. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Is the child's skin dry? If you don't know if your child is a picky eater or doesn't eat food, doesn't like fruits and vegetables? If there is no fungal infection, it might be because the child has a long-term vegetarian diet and doesn't like fruits and vegetables. The nutritional imbalance caused by food, the lack of vitamins and trace elements, can be checked at the hospital for trace elements to see if there is a deficiency and to supplement in a timely manner. Eat more fruits, vegetables, milk, lean meat, and other foods. A balanced diet can gradually restore health.
