Eyebrow transplants falling out from Seborrheic dermatitis - can they grow back? (Photo)

It’s frustrating to deal with seborrheic dermatitis, especially after an eyebrow transplant. Seborrheic dermatitis can cause inflammation and irritation, leading to hair shedding, including transplanted hairs. However, it’s important to remember that some hair shedding is normal in the months following a transplant as the new follicles settle in. The good news is that as long as the hair follicles themselves haven’t been permanently damaged, your transplanted eyebrows should grow back in the next several months once the scalp condition is under control.
Daily washing, as recommended by your dermatologist, is key to managing seborrheic dermatitis. Even if you don’t see visible scaling or gunk, it’s important to maintain a clean environment for your transplanted hair to thrive. Using a gentle, medicated shampoo for the brows, such as one containing ketoconazole or zinc pyrithione, can help control the dermatitis without being too harsh on the newly transplanted follicles.
