What should be done if a child's scalp does not grow hair after being injured?
Disease description:
Last month, my son accidentally cut his scalp, and although it has now fully healed, the hair in that area has not grown back. I would like to know what can be done when a child's scalp stops growing hair after an injury.

After a child sustains a scalp injury, hair may stop growing due to damage to the hair follicles. In such cases, visiting a reputable medical institution for hair transplantation is an effective solution. This procedure mainly involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from the back of the head, processing them specially, and then transplanting them into the scarred area. Once the transplanted follicles survive, new hair will begin to grow in the previously scarred region. After successful transplantation, the newly grown hair will be permanent and will not fall out.
