I'm a bit concerned about the hair growth around a wound on my chin where I had a mole removed. The stitches are healing, but I'm noticing the hair from my stubble is growing in different directions, making it look all bunched up in the area near the wound. Just wondering, once the scar tissue settles, will the hair start growing normally again? Will it stop looking all bunched together?

When the scar tissue settles down, the hair growth pattern may improve. In the meantime, you can try using Minoxidil solution to promote hair growth and improve the appearance of the area. Apply Minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area for better results.
