Deep Cut from Shaving My Head — Will I Lose Hair There?
Hi I am 27 year old male. I accidentally cut myself with a razor when I was shaving my head. This happened at the front of my scalp on my hairline. The cut was deep, a patch of my skin was removed. I could see white. I am terrified that my hair may not grow back. Do you think I will be able to regrow my hair there?
Thanks
To determine if the hair will grow will take an understanding of the degree of skin loss you suffered (if any). If you lost a full thickness of skin (down to the fat) in a reasonable sized area, then the hair will not grow in the area where the full thickness of the skin was lost. If you had it sutured back together or allowed it to heal edge to edge, then hair regrowth probably will occur provided that there was no gap left open. In that case, you should ask the doctor who sutured you back together. Without seeing the wound and subsequent scarring, there is little other help I can provide.
Hello, I am a 21 year old male. About 3 years ago I had surgery on my head. Inside and outside stitches both. It healed. But when I shaved last night with a shaver I shaved the scar tissue away. I could then see white meat from the top of my scalp with a small area at the end of my scar bleeding slightly. It was very small due to the healing three years back, but it’s still disturbing to look at. I put alcohol on it last night to stop the slight bleeding and covered it up with a bandage. I told my mom and she said I’ll be alright but this is messed up. I start my first day of college tomorrow at Berkeley is there anything I can do to cover it up if not how long will my problem last?
