You may want to see a dermatologist. If you are losing body hair you may have a condition called alopecia. Look it up on the internet. If the sheding on your head seems to be slowing down, that may be a good sign.

Im almost 16, and have also been experiencing hair loss. It was a lot worse in October and so on, but it is still falling out. Why? I did loose about 15 pounds, but now i gained back about 10, and feel great.. i look the same, its just the stupid scale that has changed. But that doesnt worry me, any more. It did a lot before. I am wondering why my hair wont stop falling out,.. i mean, i eat normally, i excerciese a lot, and im very happy! Is it just a phase, and i shouldnt worry about it? Right now, well a week ago i started taking a natural progesterone cream, and using it in the morning and at night. my mom says it might balance my hormones, maybe the hair loss is caused by hormones. Also, I'm only 5'4, and I am suppose to be much taller, from the height of my parents. I was always taller than all of my friends, but now im the shortest one..

.. do you think i caused myself to stay short by loosing weight? Will i grow again? Because i never want to loose that much weight again, no one cares, no one even noticed. Any advice, please... i want to stop buggin my mom about this.
Thank you. Suzi
