I fell and had to get stitches( 4) about a month ago ...the scar is there which I'm not bothered about but the hair around it hasn't grown back so I've a bald patch (if I shave it ) I have left my hair grow since so the extra long hair is covering the patch but I normally have a shaved head so this is bothering me ...I read some where that it could take up to 6 months to grow back properly...is this correct? I was thinking of getting hair transplant if it doesn't grow back as I'm really paranoid about it

Answer: Scars and hair growth In the scar itself you likely will not get hair growth. Around you scar you likely can get hair growth as long as the follicles were not transected. If the scar was tightly closed with sutures and if they are left on for over 10 days this can strangulate the edges of skin and cause further scarring. We call those vertical little lines railroad sign. We usually close our scalp surgical scars with staples in addition to closing with a trichophytic closure such that the scar is less visible. I would wait at least 6 month to see how the scar looks. If it is not acceptable, you may have the scar revised and closed using a trichophytic closure or other methods that are available for repair of scalp scars. You can see more in our websites.
