Suggest Treatment For Bald Patch After Suffering From Ingrown Hair

I am 28 and have thick hair. I have never had problem with any hair loss. I had an ingrown hair two weeks ago and popped it and it has healed as of recently. But I have began to notice that in the same spot the bump was from the ingrown hair, there is now a small bald patch. I think I can see where tiny hairs may be starting to grow back in this area but is this normal? will the hair grow back in this location?

Hello,

There may be retained hair in the particular area. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. The affected area has to be excised to prevent recurrence.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
