Update I stopped using the copper spray, shampoo and conditioner and the aching pain has lessened dramatically. I think I might have been allergic or something because it stung on the donor area and the scabs didn't come off at all even at day 7 all were still there in the planted area. So I used a shampoo and conditioner from whole foods and some itching started up real bad it was late at night and was almost maddening so I googled and found a saline solution worked for others. DISCLAIMER "I'm not a doctor, I'm only telling you what worked for me." I took a couple paper towels and folded them, mixed up some water and salt, soaked the paper towels and secured them with a bandana then saturated the whole bandanna in salt water (keep towel around your neck to catch the run off) and this gave me immediate relief. Just as important I've kept this going for a day and over half the scabs are now gone. I replaced the papertowels with a cut of cotton from a t-shirt. Since cotton does dry out easily like a paper towel is keeps a nice moist environment and with the salt mixed in it is crazy how fast it speeds up the healing process. Long story short if I do another procedure I will "not" use the copper formula they offer I'll stick with good old salt water. I hope this is helpful for others if their transplants itch or if they are having chronic pain or stinging from the sprays they are instructed to use.

Late on day four I got some "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" looking swelling but that wasn't the problem my donor area started hurting and hasn't stopped since then. Chronic aching pain continues here at the end of day six, however the swelling has went down significantly around my eyes. I had FUE 2200 grafts. From what I've read this is kind of rare, so I hope this goes away soon.
