How To Grow Hair At A Bald Patch On The Scalp?

Hi, my 7 year old daughter hit her head hard against a brick wall at school about a month and a half ago. It was caused by a ball first hitting the other side of her head and the other side got thrown against the side of a brick wall. So, the school called me up and I brought her to the hospital. She cried all the way to the hospital. The doctor said he did not see any signs of fracture, although there was a lot of bruising. He glued the bulging wound, he explained it was round and bulging because it was fairly deep, so the skin gives a little bit. there was quite a bit of glue, that was clearly mixed in the hair. I figured this was okay to help keep it together. I avoided to much water for her for a good couple of few weeks-just baths couple times a week while healing. It took the scab a month to fall off, and now there is a bald spot around the scar. It s been about a week and a half since the scab came off and I don t notice any new hair growth on that spot. I feel desperate for that hair to grow back. Have you heard about this happening before? I saw a doctor just a couple of days before the scab feel off, and he said it looked completely healed-just had to use more shampoo for a few days, and it certainly did come off. Can it just take a while to grow/?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Growth of hair over bald patch could be assisted by application of Minoxidil. However, you need to get her evaluated clinically by consulting Dermatologist. If the conservative treatment with minoxidil doesn't show good response, then it would be advisable to go for hair transplant.

Hope the information provided helps.
Best wishes.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran. S.
