Will Hair Grow Back In Cyst Removed Area In Scalp?
A few weeks ago I had a cyst removed from my scalp. Just beside the crown of my head. Dissolvable stitches were used. It s healed up nicely. The stitches have dissolved and the scab that formed has just fallen off. There is a big bald patch there. Will hair grow back?

Hello and thanks for your question.
It's my first priority to help you.
Well it sounds hair loss at a surgical site is damage to or scarring across the hair follicles.
You should try OTC Rogaine 2-5% on affected area for 3 to 6 months.
If there is no improvement then see your dermatologist.
Hope this helps.
