I don't know why.: Dr stuart gave a great answer. In addition to those medical causes, stress associated with ptsd or depression could also be a factor. Here is a short article by the mayo clinic on impact of stress with hair loss: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/stress-and-hair-loss/an01442. I agree that this would require medical work up. Take care.
