Will hair grow back after a skin tag was removed from my scalp?

When a skin tag is removed from the scalp, the likelihood of hair growing back in that specific area depends on a few factors. If the skin tag was small and the removal didn’t involve deep layers of skin or damage to the hair follicles, the hair may grow back over time. However, if the removal involved deeper tissue or destroyed the hair follicles in that area, it's possible that the hair won't regrow naturally.
In cases where hair follicles have been permanently damaged, treatments like hair transplant surgery can be an option to restore hair growth in that spot. If you're concerned about how the area is healing or whether the hair will return, I recommend giving the site time to fully heal and monitoring it over the next few months. If you don’t see any regrowth, there are options available to help restore hair in that area.

Hello and thank you for your question. In most cases, yes the hair will grow back. If however, the hair follicles were damaged the hair might not grow back. Perhaps you should consult the doctor who removed the skin tag. Best of luck to you.
