Asked By:katie.1990

Recently I had some stitches on my forehead (vertical) which were also extending about 1.5 inch on my scalp. Now its been a month and it has healed much but I notice that the area where stitches were placed on my scalp is not having hair. Will my hair grow back or it won't. What should I do about it.
