Generally, hair is unlikely to grow directly on the area where stitches were placed due to scar tissue formation.
Why Hair May Not Grow on Stitched Areas
- Scar Tissue: According to the reference, hair typically does not grow on scar tissue. When skin is stitched, it heals by forming scar tissue, which often lacks hair follicles. The area that was stitched will likely not grow hair naturally.
- Follicle Damage: The process of stitching can sometimes damage or destroy hair follicles in the immediate area.
What Can Be Done If Hair Doesn't Grow?
If hair doesn't grow back in the area where stitches were, there are options to consider:
- Hair Transplant: This involves transplanting hair follicles from another area of your body to the scar tissue. The reference suggest this as one possible solution.
- Scalp Micropigmentation: This is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to deposit pigment into the scalp, creating the illusion of hair follicles. The reference mentions this as an alternative treatment.
