I Have Red Scalp After My Hair Transplant, Is It Infected? (Photo)

Some people develop a pink color due to their skin type, if they have histamine positive skin. I usually find out ahead of time by having the patient use their fingernail to scratch their forehead. If it turns pink in the first few minutes, I tell the patient that he or she will have a pink wound after the surgery, as you seem to show. If you are worried about having an infection, go back and see your doctor. However, if this is just a histamine response, it will resolve in time (sometimes it takes weeks or in a few patients, a few months). Going back to your doctor is your best bet.
