Hi there,

I went out for a hike not knowing about the sun exposure thing. I’m 18-19 days post op (2.5 weeks). I was outside for 3 hours on a hike in 17’C Uv6 on a sunny day from 12-3PM. 
 

I got a fairly mild sunburn, definitely just first degree.

Am I screwed? Did I kill my follicles? Or will this just impact skin?

Any update?

Sorry I have to open yet another thread but I’m really worried I might have damaged the grafts permanently and would like to know your opinions on this. 

 

It’s very hot where I am and while going out the first time since my OP (yesterday was day 15) I was under direct sun light and also sweated because of the weather. My scalp looks completely normal since day 12 so I was happy to finally be able to go out again but completely forget about how bad the sun is for transplanted hair. Some say it might cause damage others say it’s fine because the grafts are supposed to be strong by now.

 

I just wonder, did anyone here experience the same ? Being under the sun and sweating like 2 weeks after your OP ? Did it affect the results ?

Any update???
