Gosh, that's hard to say, but I don't think so!. Go get yourself a big box of PLAIN oatmeal (or an Aveeno bath or just baking soda) and take a hot bath in it, dunking your head under and really getting it in your hair, let it really soak in!. That should help ease the symptoms!. You can also try taking benadryl (this will really work, but it may make you sleepy) and using a cortisone cream or calamine lotion!. Don't scratch!

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is highly likely!.

If you scratch the spots and they scar, which is not uncommon, the follicles in the scarred skin will be gone, just like in all other scars!. With the hair follicles gone, no new hair will grow there!.

So don't scratch them! (I was three years old when I scratched them, and now I have a few scars on one side of my face!)Www@Answer-Health@Com
