How much would it cost to cover up a bald spot the size of a quarter?

OreosruleSep 1, 2018
I currently have relatively long hair, about 3-4 inches long. However, I am going to be joining the military soon and you as you all already may know, you get a nice shave. I really don't want to have my bald spot showing. When I was younger I hit my head on a concrete floor after falling about 5 feet. The bald spot occurred because there was a wound there and I picked the scab which then tore the hair out. Injections did not promote growth. Also, do I call a dermatologist or something directly?

You can use the topical steroid as your dermatologist suggests. It doesn't damage your transplanted hair.

You're a Class 3. To fill the temples, you need about 2,500 grafts. If your hair loss is still progressive, you're recommended to take Finasteride to prevent further hair loss.

Hi, It looks like you should try scrubbing off the scabs they should have fallen out by day 7 to 10 max. I would recommend calling your DR. and visiting  for a follow up.
