hi doctor my name is jesse and im a dental assistant last week i did a pulpatomy and i use formocresol. I remember that i scratch my head after using it and a week later i have a bald spot. is that suppose to happen ??? should i see a doctor ??? is my hair going to grow back??
Hi. As per your case-history u maybe having alopecia aerate. It is less likely that formocresol can cause such bald spot unless it is applied directly to scalp. U can start using Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment on bald spot. Hair will gradually grow in 3-4 weeks. IF satisfactory result doe snot come than consult a dermatologist. Thanks
