Go see a doctor, don't rely on answers from here. Hope it goes ok.

Go see a dermatologist. Also have your blood checked and see if you have a thyroid problem.

That can possibly be a vitamin deficiency or, if you've taken any new medication it can be a RARE result of that. Check with doc.

You do need to check with a doctor about this because it could be anything. Just last week, though, there was a piece on the news about how people who have chemotherapy as children can later develop health issues. Losing hair was not mentioned, but because you have been through chemotherapy it would seem very important that you talk with a doctor about this.



I don't know how old you are, but women can lose some hair after menopause. Also, as an example of how easily hair loss can occur, I once was prescribed antibiotics for an ear infection, and three days into taking the medication my hair started to come out in the comb without any pulling on it whatsoever.



(For all you know, it could be entirely unrelated to your chemotherapy treatment and nothing more than a skin condition, but check it out..)
