Hi dr. rassman, thanks for the great blog
I have extensive shockloss around the scar from a recent strip hair surgery.
Do you think minoxidil would be good to help reverse the problem, and help the shocked hair to “fully” come back around the scar?
Loss of hair from around the scar is often the result of a surgical closure which was too tight. Sometimes the hair returns on its own and sometimes it simply doesn’t. Minoxidil won’t hurt, but probably will not help.
This has the potential to cause a very wide scar. Speak with your transplant surgeon about this problem and ask him/her if the closure was tight.
