There are some drug treatments, but I must confess I don't have any first hand knowledge of their benefits/risks.

Dear Dr. Nicolson, I'm the lady who's eyebrows fell out completley and you kindly referred me to the Alopecia Areata foundation website for treatment options. I went there and it's wigs and makeup so I was wondering if you know of any prescription treatments (topical or otherwise) that have been successful at stimulating eyebrow growth?? Or, is it a case of when they are gone they are gone for good??
Thanks Much.
Alopecia areata (loss of hair in one or more regions) is a rather common problem that is thought to be caused by an autoimmune process or chemical or radiation exposure. In some people it is genetically linked and occurs at a distinct time during their life.
The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (http://www.naaf.org) lists a number of possible treatments that might help you.
