      For those on Zelboraf; I’m over 8 weeks out on 6 pills per day. My body hair for the most part is gone. My eyebrows have thinned as well as my hair. Does the hair ever start growing back at some point? Just wondering. I know it’s the least of my worries but just curious.

          I too lost all body hair. Most has grown back but much thinner; still none in armpits. Never lost eyebrow hair and not really sure about head as I was already balding. Head hair texture did change though. Hope this helps.
