Can mild hair dryer burn lead to hair loss or other problems?

Asked By:Constantine1 in Berlin, DE

Hi, I went to a stylist yesterday for a regular haircut and he accidentally burned my scalp with the hair dryer. He was brushing and drying my hair in the same time and at some point he kept the dryer too close to my front-top of the head which resulted in a burn sensation. Now I still feel some itching and burn sensation but luckily I don't see any visible wound or redness. Will this lead to hair loss or some serious issues? I'm worried what to expect in the upcoming days. Thanks!
