Note: There may be other causes of hair loss. This list is not all
inclusive, and the causes are not presented in order of likelihood. The
causes of hair loss can include unlikely diseases and medications.
Furthermore, the causes may vary based on age and gender of the affected
person, as well as on the specific characteristics such as location,
quality, time course, aggravating factors, relieving factors, and associated
complaints. Use the Symptom Analysis option to explore the possible
explanations for hair loss, occurring alone or in combination with other
problems.
