See dermatologist: It might be scalp fungal infestion with distroying hair follicle. Need tablets and topical anti fungal medication. If not improving then need to get skin scraping and find out types of fungal infection in labs .Hair need to be cut very short for topical medication application. Best to schedule dermatology clinic for further skin study and treatment.

See plastic surgeon: Scalp hair does not grow in a scar. The scar can be due to any reason. The best option is to see a plastic surgeon nad have him/her assess whether scar revision surgery will help you.

Get scar revision: If a scar on the scalp shows no signs of hair regrowth within 4-6 months, it is unlikely that hair will ever regrow. Therefore you will need either a scar revision (sometimes the bald spot can be cut out) or hair grafts. There are surgeons who specialize in hair issues. Ask your doctor for a referral, or if you don't have one, call the local county medical society.
