I’m female and 14 with fine shoulder-length hair and recently i’ve noticed abnormal amounts of hair falling out all the time. i haven’t told anyone yet, but i’m scared it’s something serious. I’m thinking maybe it is the drugs i’ve been taking to clear up a bad ear infection, sinusitus, and conjunctivitous, which has just cleared up and i’ve finished the treatment. Maybe it is because i have a very irregular menstural cycle, having my first and second period over a year. What is wrong with me???

You need to be evaluated by a good doctor. This type of question would be too difficult for me to provide an answer to over the internet, especially without knowing your medical history or even being able to see you in person. There are many causes for women’s hair loss, including hypothyroidism, eczema, alopecia, dieting, malnutrition, autoimmune, drugs, infection, genetics, etc.
