I know many others have this problem. I have it slightly, on one eyebrow. I don't have any magic solutions for you (I'm watching to see if others reply to your post also!), but I will offer two pieces of advice: 1. It sounds like your sebderm is totally out of control, so you need to more actively manage it to prevent this from happening. What are you using right now? I've found that ZNP bar works the best for me. I make sure to gently massage it into my eyebrows so that the sebderm in that area is diminished. 2. I find it helps to keep my eyebrows neatly trimmed. The longer my eyebrows get, the more the sebderm bothers me... and I find myself rubbing them and picking at them and the hairs start falling out. I'm not sure why this is... if it's the weight of the longer hair or the <!--more--> fact that the longer hair is more likely to get hair caught in it. Like you I'd be curious if there's something that can be applied just to the eyebrows since it's such a small area. I've tried moisturizers and even cortizone creams and ointments but I can't really say that any of that stuff has helped. Good luck... let me know if you find something that helps!
