Eliminating Bald Spots from Childhood Ringworm Scars?

[Balding Blog]

Hello I am an 19 year old african american male that has small patches of missing hair on my scalp. When i was about seven years old I contracted a sever case of ring worm on my head, due to picking at it, when it healed i was left with small patches if missing hair. Since then, i have always had hair styles such as braids, afro, and now dreads mainly to cover the few small spots. I am now wanting to cut my hair and in some spots small patches still appear, how can i fix this?

As long as you are not still picking at the area (which is either trichotillomania (http://www.trich.org) or dermatillomania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatillomania)), you can consider a small hair transplant surgery to put hair back into the bald patches. If you are still picking these areas, any transplanted grafts will be lost from the picking.
