Fungus Caused Scar Tissue
My scalp was infected with a fungus that since has been treated. I have bald spots now due to scar tissue. Can anything be done to regrow hair in these spots?
Fungus infection tends to be superficial, affecting mostly the hair shaft. However, when the infection is deep and untreated for a long period of time, then scars can form and the hair loss can be permanent. The inflammatory process of your scalp caused by fungus can be treated with a steroid once the fungus is irradicated. However, I am not certain if a steroid will help once scar tissue has been formed. Wait for a few months and look for any hair growth before attempting any treatment. Generally, I would give it 6-9 months before considering anything more radical.
