also around that time when she noticed it i was suffering from a very bad skin rash cause by stress. so at the time i was very stressed out.

do you think it is stress related and if so like i asked before, does it grow back?Will stress cause hair-loss?
Stress has been closely associated with temporary hair loss for a few years now. As more and more individuals report hair loss as a symptom while going through periods of high stress (such as divorce, lost jobs, deaths in the family, and even childbirth) more doctors are looking into the medical connection of these two conditions.



Although some people may notice hair loss during extreme periods of stress, it is more likely that the hair loss will first be noticed after the stressful period has pasted. This is due to the effects of stress on the hair growth pattern. When an individual experiences intense stress chemicals in the body will transmit signals to the hair follicles, which causes them to enter a resting phase. During this phase there is no new hair growth. During the next few months hair will be shed normally but new growth will not occur to take its place. This uneven pattern can cause hair to appear thinner and eventually result in hair loss.



Once the stressful episode has ended the hair follicles will stay in this resting period for a period of time and new hair growth will not start for three to six months. This can lead to further stress in the individual as they notice more and more hair falling out and no new hair growing to take its place. If the stress from this condition is too intense the cycle can be prolonged and will result in further hair loss.



Stress induced hair loss is usually temporary in nature. However, if the stress event is very prolonged or if the hair loss causes further stress then the condition could turn permanent. On average the hair loss will continue until the cause of the stress is eliminated for good. Once the cause is eliminated the hair growth pattern will return to normal within six months and new hair growth will be visible.

You need to go to a doctor so you can be refered to a dermatologist. What you have is called alopecia. This is autoimmune response caused by stress and/or poor diet.

This happened to my boyfriend, so we know all about it, and trust me, this is what you have and it is caused by stress,

Your dermatologist will either give you steroid cream to put on the bald spot or steroid injections, depending on how bad your alopecia is.

Nothing else can fix this, so please see your doctor asap.
I would say not to use chemicals on your hair.Why don't you go for some home remedies. Egg whites, lemon juice, oil massages, reducing stress and diet changes can reduce hair fall and make it healthier.

stress as well as hormonal issues can cause hair loss. If Its just a small patch it could be alopecia. If its stress related it normally grows back when stress is reduced.

yes so beware and stay away from stress keep cool and happy mind you will not loss hair if you take proper diet,

just go to your doctor and have them prescribe you anxiety medication.
Sometimes. But stress does give you gray hair. Im not sure if gray hair is easier to fall out but.It is possible that stress induces hormonal changes that are responsible for the hair loss, since hair loss is a known consequence of other hormonal changes due to pregnancy, thyroid disturbances, or even from taking oral contraceptives.
