Why are my eyelashes falling out? Is that wail coming from you?! Have you ever stopped to consider why actually are your eyelashes falling out? Falling eyelashes is a common problem and there are many reasons for this. Perhaps, if we get an idea of why eyelashes may fall, we may be able to take remedial steps for it.
Amongst the medical causes the most frequent ones are-If there is prolonged redness, itching, burning, watering, grittiness in the eyes it can be due to Blepharitis. This leads to the person rubbing his eyes excessively thus weakening the eyelash hair follicles and causing them to fall out.
In Blepharitis crusting of the eyes takes place at times and which requires special treatment. In severe cases this treatment may lead to falling eyelashes. Alopecia Areata is a chronic hair loss associated with all hair bearing parts of the body.
A little thought-of but considerable cause of eyelash loss is a psychological one in which the person has the habit of pulling out his eyelashes or rubbing them hard causing them to fall off. This condition is called Trichotillomania and this happens more frequently during times of stress.
The cosmetic reasons are very simple; inferior quality eye make up, over use of eye make up, sharing of eye make up and careless removal of eye make up.
Apart from these medical causes, the other most common cause is the use of bad eye make up. Inferior quality or expired mascara, eyeliner etc. as well as improper removal of eye make up causes bacterial infection and eyelashes start falling. Also, some eye make up products may contain certain ingredients which may cause an allergic reaction in the user. Sharing eye make up or its brushes amongst many people also causes infection leading to falling eyelashes.
Some of the eye cosmetic stuff contains ingredients that lead to allergic reactions for particular users. It is best not to share eye make up including brushes among too many persons as this leads to spread of infection and falling hair.
