Asked By:babyranger96 in Virginia Beach, VA

I had a pilar cyst removed at the end of May of this year; the stitches were removed fourteen days later however infection set in shortly thereafter. As a result, the hair that was growing in from the recently shaved areas. Although the infection has cleared, the hair is not growing back. Will it and how long will it take?
