Hi,
Not, not at all. Damage to cranial nerves does not cause hair loss or damage to hair structure. The disease may be telogen effluvium.
So, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
He may examine thoroughly and investigate to find out the cause of hair loss. And accordingly, he may give treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
