What Is The Cause Of Hair Loss?
This year I started working out a lot and i lost 25 pound, I also started smoking a lot of marijuana. i now have alopecia and have lost most hair on the sides of my head. My doctor said it may be from the quick weight loss I experienced after vigerous excersize. But I think it may have been the marijuana. I have stopped smoking and the hair loss has stayed the same since i stopped. before when i was smoking it got worse I think. this may just be me thinking it got worse or better since I do tend to overthink and worry about things!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern if you are male patient then this could be Male-Pattern-Baldness, and this is nothing to take any thing with the drug that you are having, but good to stop using narcotic, you try Minoxidile lotion this could prevent the further falling of your hair, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
