I fell off from a height and the bump was severe still I got only 4 stitches . The surrounding area had hair until the wound healed but after 15 days of accident and 10 days after stitch removal the hair started falling and slowly in 4-5 days, a large bald spot was made. I am using keraglo men and minoxidil topical from past 6 days but I can't see hair growth.. Will the hair ever grow back? I don't want hair to grow on scar but surrounding area.. Plz help

Finasteride can cause a hair shed at 2 to 3 months that can last up to two to four months in duration. Once the new hair is in place, it should last for several years. Finasteride tends to prolong anagen and the hair should continue to grow. Good luck.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself All-star
Thanks for your question. Finasteride does not provide protection to the genetically susceptible follicles until after the first three months of use. Since you have only been using it for 1.5 months your scalp hair thinning shouldn't be of any significant concern. Just continue...
