Hair Loss: Is premature hair loss in the family? New onset of alopecia can be hereditary or may signal a red flag such as certain systemic disorders such a s lupus or scleroderma. Assuming your state of nutrition is healthy, i would consult your doctor to rule out lupus and related disorders, certain dermatologic conditions, and assess your general state of health to be sure. Treatments are available.
