What can be done: Hair loss can be from many causes; anxiety/stress, thyroid problems, autoimmune diseases, syphylis among other things can cause hair loss, she should check with her doctor to see she she has any of these problems, alopecia areata ( areas of baldness) sometimes can be cured with steroid injections to the affected area of the head.
