Am I Losing Grafts 4 Months After My Transplant?

Hello
i had a FUE transplant last december, everything seems ok, but sometimes i feel a little itchy spot and when i scratch it, a hair (seems like it is one of the transplanted ones) comes out of the scalp attached to a bit of something looking like hard sebum, almost looking like when cleaning a black head blemish or an ingrowing hair. Is that normal? is that the follicle coming out? if so does this mean that i’ve lost one of the transplanted hairs?

thanks

These are really questions for your doctor. If you pick (or vigorously scratch) at your hair, you run the risk of losing the hair. Picking causes hair loss, infection and associated skin problems. For hair transplant patients, they should always have their doctor check out what is going on with their head.

I would doubt that you’re losing grafts at four months after your surgery, but I couldn’t tell you what is causing the itch. Maybe it is an infection, but this is clearly not something for an Internet-based diagnosis. Please call your doctor for a follow-up exam.
