a dermatologist can give you a prescription for something like propecia. you can also try minoxidil to help slow the loss and hopefully get some new growth.

Hi,

There can be several causes of the symptoms you are having and you would need to get a physician consultation to find out the cause of your symptoms.

There are several causes of hair loss:
• Traction alopecia - with ponytails or cornrows, pulling on hair with excessive force.
• Traumas such as chemotherapy, childbirth, major surgery, poisoning, and severe
  stress may cause a hair loss condition known as telogen effluvium.
• Iron deficiency
• Some mycotic infections can cause massive hair loss.
• Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder also known as "spot baldness" that can
  result in hair loss ranging from just one location.
• Hypothyroidism can cause hair loss, typically frontal, and is particularly associated
  with thinning of the outer third of the eyebrows .
• Hyperthyroidism can also cause hair loss.
• Temporary loss of hair can occur in areas where sebaceous cysts are present.

It would be best to consult a skin specialist for your symptoms to find out the cause of your complaints.

You could read more about this at the following link-

Let us know if you need any other information.
