Will Infection on My Butt Lead to Hair Loss on My Head?

I have some kind of skin infection on my left buttocks. It’s been there for 5 years now. During that time, i’ve been noticing gradual hairloss. I’m even losing pubic, eyebrow, eyelash, and more recently, ear and nose hairs.

My question is, will an infection on one part of my body cause inflammation on other parts of my body (e.g. scalp)?

First, I would want to know what type of infection goes on for 5 years. That is not right and you need a diagnosis. With regard to spreading infections, we know that some bacteria can spread via the blood stream like the staph infection that kills thousands yearly and got a lot of attention earlier this year, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

With regard to your hair loss, that is probably not related to the infection on your butt. You should still get some medical attention and have a doctor look you over. The Internet is not the place for that.
