This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary. This is also known as Telogen Effluvium.</li><li>Hormonal problems like low thyroid, elevated testosterone, and diabetes and PCOS (Polycystic Ovaria Syndrome) can lead to hair loss.</li><li>Several inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema, seborrhea, and psoriasis, cause patches of hair loss with red and scaly skin underneath. Fungal scalp infections (also called ringworm) and bacterial infections of the hair roots (folliculitis) can also cause similar problems. </li><li>Tight hairbands can cause local trauma &amp; thinning simply by breaking off the hairs at their base. Some chemical hair treatments damage the follicles or the hair itself. Insects that attack the hair (like lice or scabies) can cause hair loss either by directly breaking the hair or by causing the person to scratch, which in turn damages the hair.</li><li>In male- and female-pattern baldness, the time of growth shortens, and the hairs are not as thick or sturdy. With each growth cycle, the hairs become rooted more superficially and more easily fall out. Heredity likely plays a key role. </li><li>Having inadequate protein or iron in your diet or poor nourishment in other ways can cause you to experience hair loss. Fad diets, crash diets and certain illnesses, such as eating disorders, can cause poor nutrition.</li><li>Certain drugs used to treat gout, arthritis, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure may cause hair loss in some people. Taking birth control pills also may result in hair loss for some women.</li><li>Psychological problems may lead to a condition called Trichotillomania in which people pull out their hair, leading to hair loss.</li></ol><p>For more and better <a href="http://www.simplyanswer.com/">medical consultation </a>post your medical question at <a href="http://www.simplyanswer.com/">http://www.simplyanswer.com </a></p><p>Labels: <a href="http://www.simplyanswer.com/">Causes of Hairloss</a>, <a href="http://www.simplyanswer.com/diet_hair.php">Diet For Hair</a></p><p><br /> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4961441917394094477-4298732865066176827?l=causes-of-hairloss.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CausesOfHair-loss/~4/1QHxLos729A" height="1" width="1"/></description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CausesOfHair-loss/~3/1QHxLos729A/common-causes-of-hair-loss-include.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Vinay Gupta)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://causes-of-hairloss.blogspot.com/2008/08/common-causes-of-hair-loss-include.html</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
