Can a bug bite on the head cause hair loss?

Answer by  kfelicetti (235)

Yes, while most bug bites do not cause hair loss, tick bites can cause patches of hair to be lost. Also, while a bug bite might not directly cause hair loss, if a person itches a bug bite too aggressively, this can irritate the hair and scalp, and therefore also lead to hair loss.

No, not permanent hair loss, at least. A bug bite on the head may cause temporary hair loss due to irritation (such as swelling) at the location. However, unless the bug bite is seriously poisonous and some how damages the hair follicle or the skin tissue itself, the hair will certainly grow back in time.

It is very doubtful that a bug bite could cause hair loss. More likely your hair loss is due to stress or other causes. If the hair loss ceases, I would try to cut out stress from my life.
