Follow-up: My hair was ripped out by glue in a small spot and now I have a bald spot. Will my hair grow back? (photo)

Question

The glue was only in for about a minute

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

After a traumatic hair loss, it may take several months for the hair to grow back.  You have to just wait and see.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It may, but will take 6-8 months. Prp and progesterone injections to the scalp will improve hair growth to the area. See an expert in hair loss for options. Best, Dr. Emer

Parsa Mohebi, MD, FISHRS · Answer

Most likely hair will regrow.  You
will have to wait at least 6 months to see. 
If you don’t see complete growth of your hair after 6 months, you should
see a hair specialist for further examination.

I hair was ripped out with glue after being on for one minute there is a very, very high chance it will come back.

Sahar Nadimi, MD · Answer

Most likely the hair will regrow in the next 3-6 months. I would wait a full year before considering hair grafts to the area or other treatment options. If your hair is repeatedly pulled very tight as with certain hairstyles or excess use of glues/hairpieces, the hair loss may become a permanent problem. If this only happened one time, the hair will most likely regrow.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Almost always when this happens, the hair will grow back within 6-8 months.  Wait it out before reacting to it with treatment
