[|Human|] Hello About 6 weeks ago, my dermatologist removed a small benign tumour on my scalp (top of head) - she froze it off.  About 3 weeks later it formed a crust and peeled off.  Since last 2 weeks, I have been losing lots of hair around this part of my head.  Is this related to the freezing treatment?  Will my hair grow back quickly in this area?  I am writing to you as my dermatologist is now on holidays.  Many thanks  Marian   YYYY@YYYY
[|AI|]  Hi. As per your case-history we need to find out the exact damage the benign tumor did to scalp skin. If it was deep enough to cause damage to dermis of skin then there is possibility of scarring alopecia patch at that site and hair coming back at that region is less.Don't worry at present. Use tacrolimus 0.03% ointment at that site for 4-6 weeks. Consult a dermatologist if complain persists. Thanks. Chat Doctor.
