Pressure Burn Causing Female Hair Loss

(female) I had spinal surgery april 7th of this year, and got what I was told was a pressure burn from the face pad in the front of my hairline. It was very painful and red, and it blistered then peeled, then the hair started falling out. New hair started to grow back in as stubble, but that is now falling out too. The spot is about 2 inches wide, and about 3/4 inch deep into my hairline,what new hair I have is extremely sparse (about 1/4, maybe, of what was there before) right in the middle/front. I was treated with silvadine burn cream while in the hospital. The skin there looks normal, not like a scar from a burn. Is there anything I can do to treat this and grow the hair back? I’m hoping to not have to do a transplant type of procedure. And I wouldn’t worry so much if it wasn’t smack-dab in the front of my head, I can’t hide it , even cut bangs. I’m also afraid it will get worse, as the burn was larger than the area of hair loss.

I always tell people to wait at least 8 months, even a year to get the growth to return. Hair goes through cycles and you must wait out the cycling of the hair to see the new growth. Since your surgery was in April of this year, that suggests that new growth should start between October – December and maximize at one year.
