How To Make Hair Regrow After Healing Of Boil On Face?
I recently had a boil on my face that was drained with a 5 mm punch and packed (done 3 weeks ago and now fully healed). Also, I was prescribed bactrim which I am still taking. The beard hair seems much finer where there was swelling from the boil, leaving a very thin almost bald spot in my beard. Is there anything I can do to help the hair regrow?

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.
Hair can regenerate by itself if the budge region of hair follicle which contains Stem cells is spared/preserved from the damage.
I would advice that you wait for some time. Most of the times hair regrows at the site of boil if the infection was'nt too deep.
take care
regards
