Severe Mono Back With Hair Falling Out. Cause For Hair Fall And Treatment?
I am 18, and had a severe case of mono back in November. My hair is falling out, and what was once a thick head of curly hair is now thin and different texture. Blood test for thyroid and metabolic came back normal. Plus my scalp looks healthy according to the doctor that I saw. What is causing this and will my hair start to grow back?

we call it telogen effluvium ,it is due to stress that body suffer during mono.
the good thing is that you will get your back in next 6-7 month
better to consult dermatologist
iron and biotin based medicine will help you
eat more fruits and green veg ,do yoga and exercise
