Folliculitis

Folliculitis is a bacterial infection of the hair follicles and is fairly common as it can be spread through the use of clippers that have not been sterilised correctly. Without treatment, this condition can also lead to diffuse hair loss as the inflammation of the scalp leads to production of superoxide, which causes hair shedding. Though your hair will regrow, it may not be as thick as it was before.
