My boyfriend is 18 and he has been losing hair like crazy! more than a normal person should. what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair loss: May be normal male pattern loss; if occurring in circular patches, may be fungal infxn of scalp; check side effects of the supplements he's taking: hair loss may be one of them. May be hormonal problem (producing too much testosterone or using Anabolic steroids for body building). May be drying hair with wrong shampoo. See pcp for exam & treatment options.

I'm a 45 year old woman, in good health. Over the past month or so, I've been losing a lot more hair than normal - equally from all areas of my head. I am definitely under chronic stress from all the changes that are still going on, working from home with 2 small kids, etc. Could this be due to stress or should I be worried? I have been losing more hair than normal, should I be worried?
