Demodex

Hi
I have a 11month old sheepdog. She was diagnosed with Demodex on her back. We had her tested and she was able to take ivomec to treat the problem. She has been on it for a month. The skin looks better but she has lost hair in that area. Does anyone know if the hair will regrow when the treatment is done. Has this happened to anyone else?
THANKS FOR INPUT

In time it comes back, but will be black initially. For lack of a specific term, I call it wound hair...well, the grey hair is black, the white comes back white.

Yes, I believe the hair will come back when the injury has passed, although I'm not positive.
