A member asked:
My 8 year old son suffered from folliculitis. he now has had a patch in his head for the past 2 months. will his hair ever grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: The hair bearing areas are tolerant to some localized disturbance & will often regrow hair after the inflammation settles down.If significant scarring occurs, it can leave a hairless patch. If bothersome to a kid as they grow older, the area can be cut out & the remaining scalp stretched & re-aligned to cover the defect.
