Patient's question:
My baby is now two years old (boy). Three and a half months ago, he was scalded on the top of his head with hot oil, and it hasn't grown back yet. Is there any treatment or medicine for this? Will it grow back in the future? Please have a look, doctor. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
General burns, such as hot water, steam, or even hot oil, do not affect hair growth. Severe flame burns, industrial accidents, or even burns caused by electric motors can lead to local hair loss. Additionally, local infections can also cause hair loss. However, the head and face have strong resistance to infection. With proper treatment, severe infections are unlikely to occur. Improper treatment can lead to bacterial consumption of infected hair follicles and subsequent hair loss.
