EBV/ Chronic Mono and Alopecia

Hi

I was just diagnosed (yesterday) with alopecia and am trying to figure out whether there is a connection between mono and Alopecia. I was diagnosed with EBV about two years ago.

Still trying to figure this thing out and a little frightened about whether I will lose all my hair or not.

Thanks

Well I read up on some websites and they mentioned that a viral infection can trigger AA so who knows??
As it relates to hair loss I've got 2 large patches that seem to be growing and one small one starting out. My doc prescribed bentovate and I just started using it.
My mom wants me to come to the states to see a doc there but I am convinced that there probably isnt anything else that can be done so that would just be a waste of money and time.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Hi Tamara,

Before becoming AU, I used to use Betnovate, which is probably the same treatment as the one you are currently using (products names changed from country to country. I am from Canada). I've always had good results.

You are right about not coming to the US, there is no need.

Good luck.
Diane
