Hair can grow on scar tissue after a skin injury heals.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that hair can grow on scar tissue after a skin injury heals?

Unclear. Only partial support appears: a case report describes new hair growth around a healed suture scar, and reviews show transplanted hair follicles can survive and grow in scarred skin. No retrieved source establishes that hair generally grows on scar tissue after a skin injury heals.
