Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that the hair loss could be related to Lupus or a skin disorder (fungal infection related to the steroids, etc.).For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a dermatologist for a physical exam.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
