My friend who just turned 20 recently suddenly suffered from very serious chronic hair lost. She became literally bald on the top of her head within 2 days and her medical test results claims that she's going through hormonal imbalance. Thus the doc prescribed her steroids and some injections on her head every 2 weeks! He told her there's nothing to worry about and and that she can go on with her college and daily activities. But i'm terrified for her health, is it really that 'simple'? Could she be poisoned or exposed to some unknown harm?
Chronic hair lost at 20! What is wrong?!?
Tell your friend to RUN to a dermatologist. This sounds more like alopecia and not a hormonal issue. If it were a hormonal issue, it wouldn't have been sudden but over time. With alopecia you can have a full head of hair on Monday and by Friday have complete loss. You can also have regrowth. (I have personal experience with this)
Please tell your friend to see a dermatologist. Getting the steroid shots or other topical steroids will only keep the hair in while she is getting the injections. Stop the injections, the hair falls out. There are long-term issues with steriod use.

Is she having other symptoms? She might want to look into cushings disease as well. Could very well just be hormones though...certain birth control pills (hormones) will cause me to lose more hair than others.

Why would you be terrified because your friend is losing her hair - you are just hooked on drama.
