Hair loss: Don't know your gender or your medical history. Genetics can play a role in hair loss. It may be seen as a side effect of a nubmer of medications & medical conditions and can be affected by changes in hormones. Your dermatologist can do a thorough assessment to determine the cause of excessive hair loss. However, the etiology is not always determined.
