Can hair grow from damaged follicles after pulling my hair and causing trauma to the hair follicles?

February 10, 2018
Asked By:Hr_0 in United Kingdom, GB

Hello Doctors, When I was a child I used to pull my hair and now 13 years later I’m left with a bald spot in front of my hairline. I was wondering if I can gain my hair follicles back with derma roller and oil treatments? or maybe PRP would help restore damaged hair follicles back? or is it too late since I traumatised my hair follicles that I must do hair transplant surgery. Thank you
