I have a one-year-old wound on my head that itches and causes pain, and I've lost hair in that area.
An in-person evaluation is necessary for a one-year-old itchy, painful scalp wound accompanied by hair loss, which may indicate a chronic infection, inflammatory scalp disease, or scarring alopecia. As early treatment is crucial to preventing irreversible hair loss, please visit a dermatologist as soon as possible for an examination and potential tests.
