Hi...dear user.,
Thanks for choosing HCM.,
Now you are suffering from DIFFUSE SCARRING ALOPECIA.,
It is due to physical injury (accident) of affected area.,
Here your total Hair unit destroyed by injury..So there is no chance..,
to regrowth of your hair on that area..,
But one thing, we can do there..,
1) Weaving of Hairs ...it can be done by Trained persons..,
2) Transplantaion of Hairs...it is expensive...,but more,
effective. it can be done by Qualified and Trained .,
Cosmetic surgeon....,ok..good luck.,

Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
The area which was affected by the accident might have gone bald but not after such a long time of six years. It might be due to some infection which only a dermatologist can tell after examination. Till then concentrate on a healthy high protein diet with iron supplements.
