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.
