What Causes Hair Loss And Flushing Of Hands And Face?

I am 27 years old and have been told that I am in the Tellegen phase of hair loss. They say my bloodwork is normal. I have flushing of the hands and face and low energy. Should I stop taking birth control? This has been going on for a couple of years.
