Many possible causes: Hair loss can have any number of causes, including infections, stress, hormonal issues, thyroid issues, medications, genetics, and other metabolic issues. This can be complicated and requires a doctor to do some testing to find the cause. Best to see your family doctor, internist, or dermatologist to help find the cause.
