How To Accelerate Hair Growth On Bump On The Head?
Hi, few weeks ago I have a small bump with pus in it on my head. It was very painful and I squeezed it out but I realized the hair on the bump has dropped and has not grown back until today, it left a hole on my head. What is happening and what can I do to be able to accelerate hair grow on the bump?

Hi
You seem to have developed a patch of scarring alopecia .
Hair growth over such a patch can be slow and sometimes does not occur only .
Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected areas twice daily .
Wait for atleast one month to observe for hair growth .
