Hi
See there are two possibilities.
If the hair loss from the scalp was due to a fungal infection, then There is a possibility that the hair loss might just be a permanent one.
However, on the other hand, if the hair loss was due to an autoimmune condition like alopecia areata, then the hair loss will be reversible lo nature.
You need to get proper check up done from a dermatologist who can guide you and tell you regarding the prognosis.
