This thread really changed how i felt. I too have shock loss behind my ear on one side (isn't this where everyone seems to have it?) and I was terrified to see this one bald patch and thought something was really wrong. I'm 2 months post op now. After reading this post I feel assured that its nothing to worry about. Thanks. I have attached my pic.

I am 9 weeks post a 5000 graft FUE. The hair in the donor area seems to grow well except in this bald patch. I am not sure how i got it, i was scratching crusts off my donor in the first month post op. i was scratching quite a bit since the crusts were easily coming off that way. It felt good removing them manually like that. Maybe this patch is a result of that when i scratched a giant chunk of crust? But now it seems like hair is growing around it but not in it. When I asked my doc he said that more hair was harvested from this part and the remaining hair have fallen out due to shock loss, which will start growing back together with the transplanted hair after 3 months. I asked him why this happened only in this one area of the donor and he said because they extracted more hair from here as it was pretty dense.
