It has helped me retain my eyebrows, although they are still on the thin side. I think i had the most noticeable regrowth by adding elidel to them as well.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with elidel. I'll check into that as well.

Elidel is a prescription cream typically used for eczema. My derm said that there were cases of hair growth for ffa patients. She is a specialist with alot of FFA experience and is on the CARF board. I do not think it has had any positive effect on my hairline, only my eyebrows. Also, there are scary long term use concerns. I will be reassessing my use in March at my next appt. That will be six months of daily use.

Rogaine did not help my eyebrows regrow at all.  I've been using Desonide cream for over a year and the itching and loss of eyebrow hair has slowed--almost stopped.  But no new eyebrow hair has grown back.

Hi Trish:  I tried Rogaine and it made me itch too much.  Now I am using Latisse (formulated for eyelashes) and have seen some regrowth and definitely no more loss of eyebrows. I get it from my dermatologist; not cheap but it lasts a long time. Brooke
