Scalp Peeling Left Me with Hair Loss

Im a 20 year old male. At the beginning of the year, I had some pretty major peeling of my scalp along the left side of my hairline. The peeling caused the hair in that area to come out as well. I finally went to the doctor and he prescribed me some special shampoo and the peeling has been gone for approximately 4 or 5 months. However, there has been nearly no hair re-growth in the area the peeling occurred, just some small hairs that recently began growing. How long will it take this hair to re-grow or could this loss be permanent?

This sounds like a form of seborrheic dermatitis or possibly psoriasis, though I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “peeling”. Go back to your doctor and ask him/her about these conditions. Generally speaking (without reference to your “peeling”) either of these conditions should not cause hair loss unless you picked the skin and pulled out your hair. I would keep waiting to see if the hair will regrow.
