I’ve Got Scalp Burns from My Childhood, and Now I’m Starting to Thin

I have two problems with my hair that are now conflating to cause a major problem. First problem: when I was three years old I was burned with bacon grease and ended up with several bald spots on my head. Up to this point (I am now 40) my hair has been able to cover the bald spots. Second problem: now I am starting to experience some hair thinning and slight hair receding at the temples. So my hair is no longer able to cover up the bald spots. Can you help?

This is not a difficult problem, but without seeing you myself, I really couldn’t give you options on what to do. I’d have to see the size and location of the burn, along with the type of hair you have and the loss pattern you’re seeing. At the least, send me good digital pictures so I can see what the problem is. As you indicated that you live near my Los Angeles office, visit me for a private consultation and then you will get answers fairly fast.
