Ichy, Red Scalp a Month After FUE Procedure

Hi dr,

1 month ago I had a fue hair transplantation, but almost all of the hair transplant are fallen out right now. they say this is normal but im concerned because some hairs fall flat like a triangle.

also i have many itches and redness on my head. maybe this is the healing process? I assume this is normal?

thanks

Wasn’t there a doctor who performed surgery on you? Did your doctor abandon you? You should be concerned and should be asking your doctor what is going on with your head. That doctor has more knowledge of you (by way of examination and access) than we do on the internet. What you’re describing a month after surgery is not normal. Not all FUE is performed the same way and not all hair transplants are the same.

The two people in this world that knows what is going on is you and your doctor. This is not a brush off — if there is redness and there is a concern over an operation you have had, the internet is not a place for reassurance.

You may have an active folliculitis that requires treatment, and if you do, the prolongation of the incubation period can only harm your grafts. This isn’t something I should be guessing about, though. Please speak to your doctor.
