It depends. If a follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair wouldn't be able to grow

Hair Regrowth Possibility:
- Early Stages: Treatments like minoxidil or finasteride may help if follicles are not dead.
- Advanced Balding: Natural regrowth is unlikely if follicles are inactive or destroyed.
Other Causes:
- Hair loss from stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies might be reversible with treatment.
Recommendation:
- Consult a dermatologist or hair specialist to determine the cause and explore treatment options, including medications or hair transplants.

I've been dealing with a skin issue and tried using candid b lotion and absorb powder. I even took zimig tablets, but nothing seems to be helping. The problem just keeps getting worse and spreading more. I'm really worried about how to get this treated effectively. Any advice?

As Candid B lotion, absorb powder, and Zimig tablets haven't been effective, consult a dermatologist for further guidance, as the spreading fungal infection may require prescription
