Hair loss from folliculitis, if the inflammation is mild and temporary hair loss occurs, the hair loss may regrow in about 15-30 days, but if the localized inflammation is more severe or a scar is formed, it may cause permanent hair loss and will not regrow hair.
Folliculitis is caused when localized hair follicles are infected by inflammation. If the local inflammation is mild, it may stimulate the hair follicles to trigger temporary hair loss. If the absorption of the drug is good, the hair follicles may return to normal in about 15 days so that new hair will grow. However, if the drug is poorly absorbed, it may take about 30 days for the hair follicles to return to normal and regrow new hair.
However, for some people, due to more serious local inflammation, it may stimulate the hair follicles to atrophy or necrosis, resulting in the follicles unable to grow new hair. And in the process of recovery of the affected area, if the local fibroblasts are over-repairing, it may cause the formation of scars on the affected area, leading to permanent hair loss and the inability to regrow new hair.
When folliculitis leads to hair loss, it is recommended that standardized treatment be carried out as soon as possible to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
