This is the amount of pink color change one would expect in certain skin types with microneedling. I can’t tell how far down you are from where a mature hairline belongs. Going further down than that, will not usually bring back the juvenile hairs below the mature hairline.

I’ve read quite a few posts complaining of visible inflammation of the scalp, and I have experienced it myself, as my scalp is sometimes red, but more significantly mostly on my right temple (where I’m loosing hair) It seems to come and go, some days worse than others. Sometimes for a whole week or a […]
when i microneedle i achieve redness all over the scalp, but within the hour the redness goes away and by the morning it’s completely gone and i feel no pain at all. am i doing it wrong? is there no inflammation? Some people have Histamine positive skin which turns red easily. If you scratch your […]
Be patient and everything will turn out ok. Some people, a rare few, keep their redness for up to a year. It always happens in redheads, blondes, and fair haired people when it happens. Sometimes the use of topical steroids can address the redness. When all of the hair grows out, the redness will barely […]
I have histamine positive skin. Six weeks after HT, it was still quite red. I used OTC topical antihistamine gel (Benadryl), applied to affected area twice a day for 5 days, and it dramatically reduced the redness.
You clearly have significant folliculitis and need to see your doctor as soon as possible so that the infection does not kill off the grafts. Your doctor will take a culture, drain any pus pockets, put you on an antibiotic and judge the correctness of the antibiotic after the culture returns from the laboratory.
Thank you for the baldingblog. The answers you’ve give over the years are a very valuable resource for patients before, during and after hair transplants. It’s now 9 weeks after my FUE. My recipient area is very red and incision marks are all visible. The color and texture of the recipient area improved until the […]
If your skin is prone to redness, then there really is no way around it (just like if you’re born with the gene for balding, you really can’t stop the balding… it will happen). Typically, most doctors give a small dose of cortico-steroid to minimize the redness. Otherwise, if you’re not a Norwood 6 or […]
Chronic folliculitis can cause hair loss, and the bumps you are describing sounds like it could be folliculitis. Redness and pimples are not a normal part of genetic hair loss. I would see another doctor and get a second opinion. This may have to get treated.
No, I’m not familiar with this occurring. I have never encountered a situation where a patient developed permanent discoloration of the scalp, such as rosacea (facial redness) and/or telangiectasia (spider veins) as a result of surgery. When redness occurs it usually reflects sensitive skin, but it always goes away. Redness rarely lasts longer than a […]
And thank you for allowing us to publish your photo here. Click to enlarge: We routinely perform Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) at our office on a daily basis for the type of scars you have. In fact, most scars we see are worse than the one you show. I’m not sure why you’d still see […]
You should ask your doctor what condition he is treating. Was it for an allergy? A fungus? An infection? As I have not examined you, I can not give you an opinion on your problem.
The scabbing can be easily addressed with good techniques and small wounds by the surgeon. Add good daily washes and most patients will have no significant crusting after the surgery. Everyone is different, but in regards to redness, only a few patients develop this. You can usually find out if you are one of them […]
This is the type of question you should be asking your surgeon. Redness can be helped with the judicious use of topical steroid, but this is not a good idea without medical supervision as the body can absorb the steroids if you use too much of it. Also, the redness should not last that long […]
Fucidin H contains a steroid and I believe that continued use can be a problem. Short term use is best, like a few days and then a rest period for the rest of the week… and then repeat the process. The red color should subside over time.
