Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out hyperthyroidism again because most common cause for hair loss in young girls is hyperthyroidism.
So get done free T3, free T4 and TSH levels.
If these are normal then consult dermatologist and get skin biopsy from scalp to rule out alopecia areata.
This genetic disease can also cause hair loss in young females.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
