Any treatments for covering up plastic surgery bald spot? (Photo)

May 31, 2015
Asked By:egbesman3100 in Fresno, CA

About two years ago I had a skin graph on my scalp to cover up a bad surgery scar I had from a previous surgery, and I was wondering if any hair loss treatments could recover it? I was born with a small bald spot on my head (not very visible) but had surgery to have it removed, as it apparently could have caused a tumor. That surgery left it in ugly scars, so the skin graph was to help it heal. Will it be forever bare?
