This happens sometimes. It's called alopecia. It's not very common, but some teens and adults get it. It's more common in boys than in girls. It's just a weird condition where your body starts attacking its own hair follicles, and your hair falls out.


The good news is there are treatments for it. Get to your doctor as soon as possible. It might be something else, but it's probably alopecia.


If your family has financial diffiulties, you might qualify to get a free wig while your hair falls out and regrows. Try Locks of Love or similar organizations.I am losing my hair im only fifteen whats happening?
It is more common than most people believe. My oldest daughter suffered through it at age 14, her patch was as large as a hand. It was treated and she is fine now, she worries that it might reoccur. It was smart of you to ask the question, alot of people choose to hide or ignore such situations.
