I Was Treated For Tuberculosis and Now I Have Sudden Hair Loss

I am a 22 year old man.i underwent treatment for tuberculosis for2 year but now iam ok.the problem is now i have sudden hair loss with circular type.

Hair loss for men in general is caused by genetic factors. In other instances illness or medical conditions which cause stress to the body or adverse effects from medication can also be responsible for hair loss.

Treatment for tuberculosis (TB) sometimes can mean you tested positive and were once exposed to tuberculosis and doctors gave you a long course of antibiotic. It does not always mean you have an active tuberculosis infection. Either way, you were treated and it should not impact the hair especially after two years. Even the medication you took for TB should not be a factor after two years.

The best advice is for you to see a doctor for an examination. Circular type of hair loss (patchy circles) can also mean you may have a condition known as alopecia areata (AA). AA is not related to TB.
