Hair loss : This is likely slope is areata. It is an autoimmune condition where your immune systemcatfacks the hair follicles causing temporary hair loss. It will resolve in its own but may take several months to a couple of years and may get worse before it gets better. Often stress is a cause. To help it grow back faster, see a dermatologist for topical and/or steroid injections. Try to reduce stress also.
