i had Moh's procedure on my scalp Jan.31,2015. They did stitches inner and outer. Had outer stitches removed a week after. A scab formed and when it fell off about 3weeks ago I seen some hair in the scab. Now the spot isn't growing any hair and feels smooth not stubby like before. Will my hair eventually grow back in that spot?
