Tinea Capitis / Ringworm Scars (with Photos)
I had Tinea Capitis as a child and i would pick them off of my scalp leaving these scar spots. I was wondering how much it would cost to fill in most of the “bald spots” also if i get them filled in would it be possible for me to cut my hair and the hair that was transplanted will regrow?Iam 19years old Male, You have permission to use my pictures if needed.
First, thank you for allowing me to publish your photos. This is an extraordinary case, and one that is ideal for follicular unit extraction (FUE), where we can re-arrange the hairs from one place to another.
What I’m wondering, though, is whether you’re going to experience male pattern baldness. There is a genetic test that will tell you if you carry the balding gene, and it would be worth getting tested. If you do not have genetic MPB, then I would perform FUE all over your head, redistributing the hair from one place next to the balding areas, one at a time. If you are carrying the balding gene, then we would have to rethink the strategy. Cost might become an issue, as there is a great deal of cumulative balding, and although the fees are generally charged per graft (group of hairs), I could work with you on pricing due to the unique nature of the case.
I truly hope you can help this person. It can be quite an ordeal dealing with a problem of this magnitude.
