Will the hair grow in the bald patch in donor area? (photos)

synonymoused
I am 9 weeks post a 5000 graft FUE. The hair in the donor area seems to grow well. i dont have any problems there except this bald patch. I am not sure how i got it, i was scatching crusts off my donor in the first month post op. i was scatching quite a bit since the crusts were easily coming off that way. It felt good removing them manually like that. Maybe this patch is a result of that when i scratched a giant chunk of crust? But now it seems like hair is growing around it but not in it.
