I had a lot of hair loss and decided to go to a dermatologist. Well ol doc and I thought it was good ol lupus but it is Areata alopecia. This alopecia you lose all your body hair permanently it even affects your nails. So just saying it is worth checking out if it keeps coming out. Good luck and God bless.

Quite possibly these occur due to a poor immune system. There are so many varied ways an ailing immune system can rear its ugly head. It may or may not be Lupus, do you have a rheumatologist? If not you should ask your doctor to refer you to one.
Good luck!❤️🦋🙏
