Hi,
Hair loss may be due to stress or illness such as hormonal changes, thyroid problems, certain medications, and infections. If you have a thyroid problem, the hair loss usually resolves by treatment of the thyroid disease. Can you elaborate on your thyroid disease? Talk to your doctor about this for proper management.

Take care and best regards.
