Can hepatitis C virus cause hair loss like thinning?
Here my story.. back in 2017 I notice I start to lose my hair but not significant but now 2021 I lost most of at the crown. More like thinning now with fatigue. I just knew I got Hepatitis C. No cirrhosis or enlargement but liver enzyme is surely high load than normal. So is it possible my hair loss/thinning is because of this virus?
Im waiting for my treatment. Looking for it.
