A couple of years ago I was repairing my ceiling with (a lot of scraping off a painted stucco ceiling and drywall work). A couple days after the job I noticed a significant amount of hair loss which has continued to get worse. Hair loss is in the form of male pattern baldness. I was wondering if it's even possible for the before mentioned to be the cause of my hair loss. If so, what tests should be done to confirm this is the cause and what course of treatment should be taken? Thanks.
