Hair loss??: Your hair loss is called alopecia. You should see a dermatologist who will do a biopsy of your scalp and see under a microscope what is happening. He/She may suggest injection of a steroid into your scalp. Good web sites for more I sites are: www.mayoclinic.com and www.johnshopkins.com and search term alopecia. Good luck!
