Can mono cause alopecia?

ghyui
I was diagnosed with mono 8 months ago. Right away I noticed a bald patch on the back of my hair line. The bald spot continued to grow and now I am missing more than 70% of my hair. The dermatologist diagnosed me with alopecia a month ago. He prescribed 40 mg of prednisone. In the last month I have lost a ton of hair. I Am now prescribed 100 mg of neoral. My scalp is sore and itchy. I feel that I am not getting answers and need help. I am a 23 year old female and the hair is still falling out
