Can hair grow back?

Hair always grow according to its growth cycle but the total transition to old normal hair depends on the cause of hair loss. If hair loss is secondary to genetics then re-growth is doubtful unless a medical intervention is done. Hair loss secondary to infection, nutritional deficiency and damage may regrow once the cause is taken care.

If it is eczema it needs appropriate moisturizer,use intimate moisturizer for better results,and visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
