Dear luntana~
Thanks for your question.  Although some hair follicles may have been removed with the mole, some of the remaining follicles may also be traumatized from the procedure with the potential for improvement as the area heals.  You may benefit from PRP or topical treatments to help stimulate hair growth.  Hair transplantation would also be an option later on if the follicles do not recover.
Best wishes, Dr. Amy Hsu

I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone which may help regrow the hair in this area and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
