You would need an examination before considering treatment options.  Every case, every patient is different.  Hair transplant surgery to the scar, scar revision surgery, or even Scalp MicroPigmentation are all options.You can see the VIDEO of how Scalp MicroPigmentation covered up this...

Finasteride will not affect your transplanted hairs.  Finasteride will affect your non-transplanted hairs.  All drugs have side effects.  If you are concerned about taking the medication, speak with your doctor about it's risks and benefits.

This is very unusual for hair transplant and was seen more commonly with older techniques.  Do you scar poorly everywhere?  I would need to see you in person to develop a plan to improve this area.

Dear sanchez91Thanks for the question. Typically, it's best to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours after surgery. Even if you do consume alcohol, be sure to go easy. I wish you all the best.

Congenital bald spot may be addressed with hair transplant surgery. However you would need an examination before this determination can be made.

As a transgender mtf, how would a large hair transplant done before HRT be affected by estrogen and testosterone blockers?

Transgender hair transplant surgery should be of no issue while taking HRT or no HRT.  Testosterone blockers may help but your genetic predisposition of male pattern hair loss will eventually manifest regardless of HRT.
