Continuously losing more and more hair
I am a twenty year old female. A couple months ago, I went to the doctors for bald patches on my head, my doctor said that it as alopecia areata. However, the last few months, my hair has continuously been thinning. I am no longer losing hair in patches like when I was diagnosed with alopecia areata. Is this the same thing? Or is there some other reason that I am losing so much of my hair so quickly.
