I had my HT 4/25 which I imagine is a month behind you. My doctor suggested I try 1% cortisone. I think it may have reduced my pinkness by a shade or more in the next day or 2, but not much beyond that. It definitely improved the scalp bumpiness that I had. My HT was done in Florida but I live in NY. Because I have been concerned with the redness,my doctor reached out to a colleague in NY who is willing to examine my scalp.I haven’t gone yet,but when I mentioned my doctor recommended cortisone he was wary and suggested I not use it more than once per day. I am a very slow healer in general am hoping that time does its thing and it continues to fade. More so I am hoping that if the pink remains, my new hair growth will hide it. I’m hoping the same for you. You deserve it. Although you are doing it for your benefit, your sharing of information which must have taken many, many hours is very generous. Good luck, I’ll be anxiously awaiting your posts

Hi Rev, Im close to 7 weeks after procedure now. My scalp is still pink and seemingly getting bumpier and a lil pimplier by the day. Did a dr recommend the low dose doxycycline which controls inflammation? Did you use it? Was it effective? How long did it take until the bumps and redness went away for you? Mike

Did your issues resolve over time?

Thanks Spidey. Did you have a period of time in which you noticed bumps?

Hi All, I have a pink scalp and slightly bumpy after 6 weeks and so i logged in for the first time and have been reading Jays story and comments. Are there some guys out there who have suffered similarly and can offer some light at the end of the tunnel?
