Hair loss: There can be several reasons as to why hair loss occurs including infection (fungal, etc.), sudden horomonal changes, and autoimmune changes like alooecia areata, etc. some girls also lose hair when they first start taking oral contraceptives. It’s important to get seen by your primary physician to determine exactly which of these etiologies may be contributing.
