Last night I took a bit of a fall down the stairs, hit my head and got a small cut on the top. I cleaned it with peroxide and everything, but I am kind of worrying that it will somehow damage my scalp or hair follicles, etc. Should I be concerned or no? Please let me know...

I just re-cleaned the cut, and examined it closer with a mirror. It's more of a scrape rather than a cut... but I am really kind of freaking out wondering if I've damaged by scalp badly or damaged the hair follicles there. Can someone please put my fears to rest? (Hopefully?)

i have a small scar on the top of my head from a playground injury when I was about seven. hair does not grow from the area of the scar, but it's so small as to be pretty much cosmetically insignificant. i have to be hunting it with a mirror to see it. if you're asking if a cut is going to turn you into the equivalent of a NW4v.. no. it's not.

That's what I was really worried about... hair not growing back. The scrape/cut I've got is right on the top front of my hair, towards the left side. It's maybe an inch or so long. I'm really upset and worried now that I've damaged my scalp in such an important location.

I'm pretty sure it's a scrape. There doesn't seem to be any slice or cut in the scalp, but it was bleeding.

I'm sorry if I'm being ridiculous like the one poster thought, but I am just really concerned like I said.

how DEEP is the cut?
It would have to be a centimeter DEEP in order to damage the follicles.

It is not deep. A centimeter deep would be a fairly deep cut right? I don't think it's even a cut. It's a scrape that took off some skin on top. I've been cleaning it with peroxide and keeping Neosporin on it.
