How To Grow Hair On Bald Spot?
Hi, I have a dent in the back of my head, causing me to have a bald spot. I'm starting to think now it is because 7 years ago I fell on my head in gym class and damaged my scalp. What can I do to make my hair grown back, because I'm constantly getting my hair cut short. Thank you

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Hair loss over a scar is possible, but it will be restricted only over the scar and not around it. For such a hair loss the only solution will be hair transplantation.
What you could be having might be baldness or a condition called alopecia areata.
Kindly consult a dermatologist so that a diagnosis and initiation of treatment can be made.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
