Alopecia = hair loss: Alopecia or hair loss (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hair-loss/basics/definition/con-20027666) has many causes, only one of which is high Testosterone. Poor nutrition, thyroid issues & stress, eg hospitalization, surgery, childbirth etc, can often lead to temporary hair loss. Infections, too. If none of the above apply, go see your dermatologist. Good luck!
