I am sure that there are many diseases that cause hair loss. I am not a doctor, and if you are experiencing hair loss, you should consult one.

With that said, aloplecia is a condition that causes a variety of hair loss. Often, it is in patches, although it can range from minor hair thinning, all the way to complete baldness, and loss of eyebrows, lashes, and body

hair as well. The exact cause of this condition is frequently unknown, but stress and/or genetics are commonly thought to contribute.
