I have a small bald spot on the side of my head. Wanted to know if it was possible for hair to grow there? (photo)

Dear yungman,
Thank you for writing in with this question. It seems like you have a form of alopecia (could be triangular alopecia; could be congenital absence of hair follicles) and an in-person consultation with a hair restoration specialist is indicated. I think dermoscopy would help to confirm the diagnosis. A hair transplant procedure will likely be indicated to place growing hairs into this area of hair loss. I hope this information is helpful to you.

In  my opinion, most likely you have a congenital absence of hair follicles in the bald area. A dermoscopy as well as a biopsy can give additional information. Without follicles, a hair transplant is the best approach.

Your diagnosis is likely triangular alopecia. A hair transplant and/or scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) are the only good options. Medical (non-surgical) options are not very effective in this particular case. 

Given that you have had this dime sized spot on your scalp since birth chances are favorable that it could accept and grow hair.  It would be best to see a hair transplant physician to discuss the possibility of a hair transplant into the spot. 

IF this small bald spot has been present since birth, then yes, it can grow hair using a hair transplant. If it is recent, I would worry about other diagnosis such as alopecia areata which will not grow hair unless treated

hair transplant can be done in that area. However it needs to be done by a skilled hair transplant specialist to ensure that the orientation and direction of the incisions will match perfectly with your existing hair.
