I am 29 and my hair is falling out. I now have 2 bald spots. It is not from stress, that much I do know. Does anyone know any medical condition that this happens with and what other symptoms there are?

you may have alopecia areata, or patchy baldness. it could be hormone related other than stress, and fungal infection. are you using OCP(oral contraceptive pills), or is having hypothyroidism? If so, alopecia may be due to this conditions,but i would still suggest you to see health professional who could best answer your questions.

There are several but the one that comes to mind is alopecia. If the bald spots are circles it is alopecia areata. It is an autoimmune disorder and the hair will most likely grow back.
I have alopecia areata. When an attack starts the small area will itch horribly and then feel hot... this can last for weeks or months with me... and then my hair falls out. Does this sound like what happened to you?
You can buy a shampoo and conditioner at any salon called Nioxin. It is the only thing that helped the burning and itching of my scalp in the areas where the hair fell out. And you can see a dermatologist for steroids to help start the hair regrowth. I would recommend NOT getting this cream anywhere else on your body though!!

well, we called it alopecia....
Alopecia areata is thought to be an autoimmune disease in which the body mistakenly treats its hair follicles as foreign tissue and suppresses or stops hair growth. It is not contagious but may be hereditary—there are a few recorded cases of babies being born with congenital alopecia areata. Stress has not been proven to be a crucial factor, although this is still disputed....you better see a doctor to get an appropriate medication.....

Yes it can be caused by stress. But sometimes strands of my hair falls out just after i have washed it or even combing it or even doing nothing, i will get hair on my jumper!
