I have a Lodge 12" cast iron skillet that I have been cooking in almost every night for about 6 months. I recently scrubbed a little to hard and created a "bald" spot into he middle of my pan. I wanted to know if I can save it or do I need to strip it and reason it. Thanks!

I've had success in restoring bald spots in my cast iron skillet. After cooking and cleaning, I add oil when the skillet is warm. Eventually the "bald" spot fills in. Mine took about 3 months of 1-2 weekly uses.
