Question: “Hi, I am a 27-year-old male. I accidentally cut myself with a razor when I was shaving my head. This happened at the front of my scalp on my hairline. The cut was deep, and a patch of my skin was removed. I could see white. I am terrified that my hair may not grow back. Do you think I will be able to regrow my hair there?”
Answer: “To determine if the hair will grow back depends on how much skin you lost(if any). If you lost a full thickness of skin (down to the fat) in a reasonably sized area, then the hair will not grow in that area. If you had it sutured back together or allowed it to heal edge-to-edge, hair regrowth will probably occur, provided no gap was left open. In that case, you should ask the doctor who sutured you back together.
