Hello everyone.

I was unfortunately misdiagnosed with seb. dermatitis four months ago. I have dry skin and shampoo I used back then produced
white flakes which my doctor assumed must be the side effects of SD.

So, after using even harsher medical shampoos, my oil glands on my face and scalp went wild and started producing a lot of oil.
I decided to completely stop with treatment which improved my condition and today my glands are functioning normally.

Unfortunately, the extra oil on my eyebrows made them stuck together and so I lost many of them in short time.
I am wondering will they grow back or should I start thinking about hair to eyebrow transplantation?

P.S. I also hope this post will help some people with misdiagnosed SD in case they share similarities with my story

How long has it been since your glands have been back to normal?

It's little over two weeks today.

Ah, you should give it some more time for the hairs to grow back. If they don't, you may want to consider some sort of transplant, but it's really way too early to tell.
