[|Human|] A few weeks ago I had gotten a abscess on my head, was prescribed an anti biotic, and now the infection seems to be gone. But in the past few days I have noticed that all the hair that was where the abscess was is no longer there. It s very bald in that spot now, so my question to you is, is that normal to go bald? Should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Abscess is an infection of the hair follicles. If the infection is very severe, it could lead to the destruction of the hair follicles which could result in loss of hair in the affected area. Sometimes, it is temporary, and the hair regrows in a couple of months. However, if there has been considerable scarring, the scar tissue will replace the hair follicles and hair may not grow back. Hope this helps you. Take care.
