It may take up to a year for hairs to grow back after an accident.  If there is no hair growth after a year, you may consider a hair transplant surgery as an option.

Vaseline does not cause hair loss. Your androgenic alopecia is what is causing hair loss.  If you believe vaseline is making your hair loss condition worse, then stop using it.
