Hi Victoria

You've hit upon a great site - very friendly and knowledgeable.

As you probably know, hair loss may be due to a raft of conditions, including stress, fungal infections, autoimmunity and hormonal imbalances.

Although your doctor is not concerned, he has not quite done his job if he has left you without any clear impression as to why he is not concerned and the likely progression and outcome. I would suggest going back to him to advise of your continuing symptoms and to request clarification as to the likely cause etc. If you don't feel happy with his explanations, you might request a referral / second opinion.

You will see from the various posts on this site that in the end we all have to be fairly proactive to get the best out of our doctors.

Take care.
