Having watched my friend go through the same thing, sadly the answer is yes. But there are plenty of sites on the net that can give you help and encouragement. Treatment has come a long way over the years. Keep positive, good luck and do not give up hope of hair returning.

Question by leantallamazon: does head lice cause hair loss?
Yes, head lice does cause hair loss! I am a mixed (black and white) woman who probably had head lice for years without realizing because it is assumed that black people (I have black hair) don’t get head lice which is a farce! I thought the nits were dandruff and I thought the itch was just a normalcy! Wow The only reason I found out I had head lice is because I actually saw the bugs!!!!
I braided my hair with extensions, (the packs of hair has bugs in them so if you are braiding, you should wash the hair thoroughly) and upon completion of braiding my hair, I noted the back of my neck burning and then an itch that was undescribable. When I removed the braids, I noted white looking bugs for which I tried some home remedies. The olive oil DOES work in that it calms the itching and biting. The olive oil is a natural deterant for these little bastards and I think it kills the adults. However, the olive oil just wasn’t working overall in the removal process. I got drastic and put bleach on a wash cloth and preceded to scrub my scalp with the washcloth and lo and behold, I noted that white balls were coming off my scalp and became noticeable (thousands, ughhhhhh) in my hair and on the wash cloth for which I removed them (eggs) As you rub your scalp, rinse out the nits, bleach add water and scrub some more. I continued this process until I didn’t see any more eggs. When you do this process, you can actually feel the eggs on your scalp with your fingers. There is some kind of sticky stuff attached to the egss and to your scalp! The process is drastic but it worked like a charm. However, it does cause some burning and irritation. I waited for two-three days and did the process again because I knew I had missed some (eggs).

I don’t recommend using this remedy on children, especially under the age of 12 but whatever works as the lice were making my life a living hell because the scratching became very noticeable and because I knew what was going on, my personality changed dramatically.

After I washed my hair the second time after the bleach procedure, I noted bald patches. Particulary around the nape of my neck and my edges. Prior to my realizing that I had head lice and the lice episode, I thought I was having alopecia problems but my hair is growing back in those areas which I think was due to the fact that so many eggs were laid and this cut off proteins or what ever to my hair shaft.

Therefore, from living this experience, lice does cause hair loss but this procedure definitely works!!!!!

Answer by RoseBud
I believe you that having head lice for years might cause some bald spots but I bet it was really made worse by you putting household bleach on your head. I’m glad it worked for you but it would make a white person bald. Literally bald. Our hair cannot have household bleach on it. I had boyfriend that tried it once (because he was stupid and he thought when people talked about “bleaching” their hair they were using household bleach). His hair fell out and he had chemical burns all over his head. So, while I’m glad this worked for you I think it’s a REALLY bad idea for people who aren’t black.

Question by debilyn1209: I take Topamax for migraine prevention. Can it cause 101 fever and/or hair loss?
I am recovering from mono also and I cannot tell whether I am just relapsing with the mono or whether the Topomax could be causing me to run a fever. Also my hair has started falling out again. Not sure what is going on. Anyone have any ideas??

Best answer:

Answer by Rockford
I take topamax and have never had a fever or hair loss. I have had tingling hands and feet and numb lips that have gone away. I have heard that you can loose hair. Here is a link with a lot of people’s experiences. They rate the drug from on to five, with five being the best

Question by Nick: Can low testosterone cause hair loss?
I’ve been taking Saw Palmetto because I heard that it lowers testosterone and thus prevents hair loss and acne. But recently, I’ve discovered that just like high testosterone, low testosterone can also cause hair loss. Not that I am losing my hair, but for some reason I wanted to make sure I have thick hair and clear skin. I’m 24 and my testosterone level is 378nb. Is that bad? So I guess my question is, does low or high testosterone cause hair loss?
oh my god, I do NOT need a wig! I have healthy freaking hair! If you do not know anything about testostreone, don’t freaking answer suggesting wigs on your stupid web sites!

Answer by Carl
Its never been proven.years ago people thought the opposite was true.But there it no sound research that has shown the former or the latter to be true.

Question by btwist45: Can mega dosing 10g of vitamin B5 cause hair loss in the future ? ?
I’ve been taking10g of this for one week and the only side affects ive had is dioreah and a dry nose. Ive looked on the internet on many sites and a few people have said they have got hair loss a few months after taking that much of a dose. Im 16 and suffer from mild acne so thats why i take it if your wondering about the high dose.

Best answer:

Answer by Jeff
vitamin b is one of the water soluble vitamins. your body cannot store it, so any access comes out in your urine. it is very difficult to have “too much” vitamin b.
