Why is my hair starting to fall off in huge chunks causing bald spots?
Posted by: in Hair Loss TipsI have had problems where my hair has been falling out by the minute and everytime i comb it these huge chunks fall out. It scared me. Its like the side and back of head are falling out and going bald and I cant fix it. I am afraid I am sick. What do I do?
I am not taking any medications at this point but I do allegra once in a while for allergies. Thats it! Its like the right side and back of my head are so short and bald.

you might have a condition called alopecia.
I have alopecia and that’s what happened to me.
alopecia is hair loss for no reason.
but don’t be scared! it’s scary at first but it’s not that bad.
I was diagnosed with it when I was 11. I am now 15.
I’ve grown quite used to it.
there is no known cause for alopecia. it can happen to anyone at any given time.
they believe that puberty, genetics, and stress can trigger it.
but there’s no definate answer.
it does NOT effect your health at all.
it’s just hair lose. if the spots are freakishly smooth, you may have alopecia.
see a doctor as soon as possible.
and remember, try not to stress out too much, more stress can cause more hair loss.
I hope this helps.
p.s. it’s NOT cancer. you lose hair when you have cancer from kemo therapy. if yer not on kemo, it’s not cancer.

Might be Alopecia Areata an autoimmune disease. It causes bald spot that can spread to the whole scalp and sometimes even the whole body. Stress has been suspected to be the main cause.
For a start you can compare with the images in http://www.curespotbaldness.com. Following this, a skin biopsy should be carried out by a trained medical practioner. This is the best way to diagnose and confirm. It will show any abnomal concerntration of T-cells (immune cells) at the affected area.
My bro did the same when had this problem. However he managed to recover using a treatment he found in the website. Wish you a quick recovery
