Basal cell carcinoma scar healing in hair

I had a Basel cell treated with radiation because there was not enough skin to cover the surgical wound. I have a three inch bald spot that looks like male pattern baldness.
15 treatments, 10 minutes each, absolutely no pain and no recovery time. I have not looked into hair replacement because I am a 70 YO man and it is no big deal for me. I would probably feel differently if I was a 30 YO female.

Happy that your surgeon was so talented and no scars!
Woman’s hair is a big deal, at any age 🤣 of course, life is more important. I’m 73 and am fortunate to have hair, grey as it is. Just not crazy about pink scars in the line of my part. I was thinking about transplant, but I’m sort of getting used to it.
As I had a massive chunk of deep scalp removed from that back of my head, I guess every one is concerned about getting my stuff out thoroughly, quickly.
Good luck with your decision and potential results!
