Hi.From day one it was clear to me that there is something wrong with the left side area of my donation zone (pain, itching and water drain) . Today I can see that the density on the left side of the donation area is different than the density on the right plus there is a spot that looks completely empty. Is this spot going to be bald? Is it possible that the donation area at this spot is experiencing a shock loss? Is it possible that the hair will start growing later? Please advise. Thank you.
