Years After a Chemical Burn, Hair Is Still Patchy and Skin is Sensitive

I experienced a chemical burn from a relaxer almost seven years ago and a section in the front of my head is still thin and patchy from the hair loss. It is also still pretty sensitive and itchy. I saw a dermatologist/trichologist and she recommended fluocinonide, which only irritated it further. She was not at all helpful, or professional, and she is supposedly one of the top in the industry. It really bothers me to look at it and I just wear weaves to hide it though it isn’t terribly noticeable. Is there anything that will regrow the hair? Should I try rogaine or hair transplant surgery? I really can’t afford to continue throwing good money after bad! Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You should not treat yourself. If you weren’t satisfied with your dermatologist, get a second opinion! I’m sorry I don’t have a clear cut answer for you, but this isn’t something I can make recommendations for over the web. A good dermatologist in your home town is the person to see.
