I recently fell and cut my lip and above it pretty badly. It is scabbed over so I'm wondering when the scab falls off if hair will grow there.
Answer: If hair follicles were intact, hair should grow back Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Will hair grow over a scarred area? if not, is there a way to make it grow? Usually No, since the scarred area has lost its hair follicles. The only option is Single Folicular Transplant, where individual hair can be transplanted to the scarred area.

Answer: Hair growth after wound healing Hair growth will depend on the depth of the injury and the level of scarring. From your photo it appears that your injury is likely not deep enough to permanently damage hair follicles so I would suspect that you will have hair regrowth. If the hair does not grow back, then the best treatment would probably be to have the entire scar cut out and sewn together - called scar excision.
