Can Pseudopelade Scars Be Cut Out?
Hi, I’m curious to find out if it is possible to cut out small scared areas when doing a transplant. I’m a 21 year old male and have many burnt out scars from the last six years of living with Pseudo-pelade.
It seems to have been inactive for a number of years and I’d like to get transplantation to get the density of my hair back with transplants into the small effected areas (about the size of a pen tip), however, is it also possible to make larger scars (about the size of the tip of the little finger in size and shape) made smaller by excision since I understand it is hard to transplant hair into large scars?
Thanks
Brocq Pseudopelade is a scarring alopecia and is difficult to treat. If the disease has taken its course and not changed much in the past few years, the objectives for a local small surgery are clearly defined, and if the area being addressed is located in a place that tends to heal well, then surgery may have value – provided that your expectations are not great.
For the general audience, take a look at this condition to appreciate the area needing treatment (photo link).
I just performed Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) on a very extensive case of this and although he would not grant me permission to post his before and after photos for this post, I have to say that the results were spectacular. Of course, this man had been shaving his head and was used to making everything seen uniform.
