If you have hair loss from a scar, you can consider SMP or hair transplant surgery.  You may want to see a doctor for your options.

Scars in the scalp cause that specific are to be mostly devoid of hair.  If the scar is in an area what can be hidden with hair, and is small, then careful observation is the best option; however, if it is in a visible area, and larger, there are many treatment options.  One can have the scar revised which means that a surgeon removes it, and puts it together with the intention of making it smaller.  One can place hair transplants into which can help hide it. Also, there is a procedure called scalp micropigmentation which can help hide it as well, and cover ups like Topix which can hide it.
