Check your thyroid: Consider having your thyroid tested also as deficiencies of this gland may produce hair loss.

Have you had your: Thyroid checked too? Have you tried moisturizing by using coconut oil and leaving it in overnight then washing it out?

See your doctor: Most commonly dihydrotestosterone (dht) causes hair loss but you need your thyroid checked as well as a biopsy. You may have a fungal condition in your scalp causing some of this. Stress also causes and can worsen the problem. Do you have anxiety or depression along with this?
