Suggest Remedy For Hair Loss From Pressure Due To Helmet
I'm in the Army, currently deployed to Afghanistan. I wear a combat helmet for several hours a day, sometimes up to 20 hours. Over the past several weeks i've been getting really bad pressure points in the front of my forehead from the helmet. I've noticed my hair falling out in the area of the pressure point. Will this hair loss be permanent or will it grow back after i stop wearing the helmet?
