I have a continuous eyelash loss in middle of my right eye. Some will grow back in but will fall out later. Years ago my eye doctor said something about fluid(ph) in my eye was off possibly to hormonal change. This causing clogged follicles. He told me to put hot-hot compresses on it to unclog daily. I did it for a while but haven\'t kept up. They seem to grow back certain times of the year. Maybe because of change in ph of body fluid and follicles maybe open up. I do have some swelling in that area of my eyelid no pain. I remember doctor talking about a mole or some type of growth on my eyelid but I don\'t see anything. Could possibly have been talking about left eyelid but don\'t see anything going on there. There is no pain. I don\'t where heavy eye makeup just touch on ends of my lashs and light shadow. My sister has had a lash loss (she\'s 10 yrs younger) over the past years and she doesn\'t wear any eyemakeup. She believes that has alot to do with the problem. Please send me any eyelash loss news on answers/cures. Thank you.
