Could this be a sign of a thyroid problem? I mean… when I look on websites, it says OUTER THIRD OF EYEBROW.. But I’m losing eyebrow hairs from ALL parts of the eyebrow.

I have seen a derm and a doctor – both were no help.
I had a blood test done in January and my thyroid levels came back normal
I tried the basal thermometer (with a regular digital thermometer), and my temperature was 96.5.

Do you think I have a thyroid problem? How can I know for SURE?

other symptoms:
constipation, dry flaky skin all over my face, eyebrow loss, acne, cold hands and feet.

please help me

No one in my family has a thyroid problem (not that we know of)… and yes, I did fast for 10 hours.
