What Would Cause Rapid Hair Loss In A Thirteen Year Old Boy?

There are so many things that this could be, and it could be something simple, or something very serious. Right off the bat, I hate to mention the C word, but this is a possibility.

Could he have been exposed to something that he might have an adverse reaction to, a chemical or something when he was out playing somewhere.

Is there male pattern baldness in your family. Any chance of allergies.

Lastly, there is the chance that drugs could be a factor. When people do certain types of drugs, the hair falls out, the teeth become lose and start to decay and fall out, weight loss is also seen in drug use.

Huffing is another possibility, that's inhaling paints and other chemicals after they've been sprayed into a plastic bag of some sort.

But think first of a real medical condition that could possibly be affecting him. My children and I will say a prayer tonight, and we will add your family to the prayer chain. Good luck.
