Hey, what do you mean by picking your scalp? Are you pulling the hair out or trying to squeeze spots?x

My Autistic son has began picking his scalp until bald spots appear. We have sought treatment and are using the ointment that we were given. But the reason I am writing is to let you know that the hair will grow back. Several spots that were previously bald on my son's scalp, after using the medicine, has began growing new hair. You can see and feel the "stubble" of new hair. So take heart, if you leave those bald spots alone, they will eventually grow hair again.
