When to Seek Medical Care

If you have hair loss, you may want to see a doctor if you want to prevent balding.


See your doctor if you are losing large amounts of hair every day, and if you are not feeling well at the same time you are losing hair.


Most often hair loss occurs without other signs of illness.


If the following symptoms occur at the same time as hair loss, you may have a serious medical condition and you should see a doctor right away.


Confusion


Poor appetite


Constipation


Diarrhea


Trouble breathing


Weight loss


Vomiting


Fever


Pain


Skin problems
