A member asked:
Could impact to the head cause hair loss/damage via shock? if so, would it be a bald spot or marbled throughout the scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair: Local contusion can cause a local area of hair loss but shock is unlikely to cause marbling although alopecia may occur due to stress
