Yes I've had it, mine was called alopecia (sp?). This was long before I had chemo. It was a bit bigger than a quarter and on the top of my head and noticed by my hairdresser when I was having a hair cut.
My family doc did a thyroid test because changes in hair can be related to thyroid problems and when that came back normal sent me to a dermatologist. First I got some topical corticosteroid that I smeared on it daily. That didn't work. Then the dermatologist injected some steroid into my scalp, which sounds worse than it was - that did the trick, hair grew back, same as before.
I wondered if the chemo hair loss would make it recur, but it didn't. I think you should get to a dermatologist. Saying something is due to "stress" seems a bit of a cop out to me.
