Asked By:Nightrogen in Lodi, CA

I had been suffering from Traction Alopecia for some time now an during my recent visit to a dermatologist a Shave Biopsy was done on my scalp. On those areas where my hair was growing just fine, so scissors were used to cut the hair around it first. I had been warned that there is a chance on infection and scarring but I thought that biopsy on the scalp would be quite small. Well that wasn't the case. Now I am worried if my hair would grow back. (I am posting a day after the biopsy) Thanks!
