Hair won't shed from follicle?

I've noticed all the hair covering my body stays in the follicle at the end of it's cycle and doesn't fall out which irritates the follicle causing the new hair to become detached earlier than it should leaving me with hairless patches. Some follicles have up to or exceeding 10 hairs in them (when I remove them they share the same bulb as well). I use facial and body exfoliators so not sure why this keeps happening. Any suggestions on what causes it and how to prevent it? 28yo female
