Have Burn Scars on your Scalp:

Mild or moderate hair loss may not seem unattractive or uncomfortable as the scalp is usually not that visible in such cases but some people have hair loss due to birthmarks or burn scars on their scalp. And it is no doubt a more embarrassing experience, as compared to usual hair loss.

If you are a victim of visible birthmarks or burn scars which were caused due to an accident or any other mishap then you are definitely familiar with that insecure feeling. But that doesn’t mean that you should start using out-dated treatments or tricks to hide your burn scar on your scalp.
