Will my hair from a bald spot from scalp picking at a scab for approx 3 months grow back after treatment? (Photo)

Asked By:tess1669 in North Carolina, NC

About 3-4 months ago I started picking at scabs that would form when I would find a piece of dandruff that had stuck to my scalp. When I realized I was doing it to the point where it was bleeding I immediately stopped and treated it for infection but after the infection cleared there was this smooth round bald spot right smack at the front of my hairline where I part my hair. It's been two weeks since I received steroid injections from my dermatologist but still no new hair growth I can see.
