Thanks for the encouragement. Right now I have some mixed feelings about my progress. My clinic put me on doxycycline 100 mgs/d today for one week again after I reported having a newly formed pimple. I also was hoping for some kind of treatment to my lingering redness/discoloration. I was prescribed a topical steroid by my dermatologist but my hair clinic suggested my not to use it. Right now there is not a lot I can do except for waiting. Going out in the sun without a headpiece is still a no-no until the end of the year at least. (I was hoping for a vacation in Thailand but - according to my clinic - that shouldn't happen without wearing a hat all the time.)

Sure thing. This is day 105 (3.5 months): Hair is sprouting Redness/Discoloration still present, it shows more or less obvious in different lighting conditions; I think getting better but very slowly (clinic says "it is normal", "it depends on my skin" and "I would have to be patient") Clinic discourages the use of medication, ointments etc. for the redness No more folliculitis so far Sometimes itchy scalp below the center of the hairline Some numbness remaining on top of the head but getting better slowly Still wearing a cap outside At work I try to cover my temples with the remaining hair

Growth is great! Do you take anything for the redness in terms of meds by the ways? I am at month 2 now and my clinic said no topical steroids nor aloe vera...🤷🏽♀️

I was at "Facialteam" in Marbella (Spain). They are a team of doctors who mostly do gender-affirming surgeries including hair transplants. Surgeries take place at the HC Marbella Private Hospital. The doctor operating me specifiically was Dr Ana Mota Burgos and the hair technicians at Facialteam. I also had a follow-up at day 6 post-op with Dr Teresa Meyer.

Day 49 (7 week) post-op update: Taking antibiotics for 12 days now, 16 more to go. The pimples ("Folliculitis" according to my clinic) are gone but the redness keeps unchanged. Looks worse in different lighting conditions. Sometimes when I get up in the morning I think I see some minimal improvement but I am not sure. Clinic says "redness is normal and improvement will take time, it depends on my skin type". If there is any doctor on this board I would be grateful to get a second opinion. (I think I have seen a certified doctor in another topic but I am not sure.) At least I am happy about my high-resolution cell phone camera to provide some really close-up detailed images...lol. Does somebody know if sweating/straining (weight training) does exacerbate the redness? Normally I do a lot of exercise during the week. Clinic told me I can do weight training and sweat again after the week 4 mark had passed.

Hey. I am very sorry to hear about your experience and I can fully relate you. I hope that in the end things will turn out better for you. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. This is definitely a thing most people do not talk about a lot. All the best! <3 -

V-Beam tips after Butcher job in London
germangal replied to Redmann's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Can you tell us how it worked out with your redness? I have severe redness 7 weeks post-op as well, it's not really getting better. -
Looking good! I wish I had this growth already to hide my redness. (Looks we are both prone to it.)

Hello guys. I had somewhat around 2500 grafts 38 days ago. Two days ago my doctor prescribed me antibiotics because I had two pimples which were diagnosed as Folliculitis. Regimen: Doxycycline 100 mgs, 2 tablets a day for 14 days and then 1 tablet a day for another 14 days. I was wondering if the general redness can be related to Folliculitis in my recipient area, if the redness seems to be "normal" at my stage of progress and if the redness seems to have increased compared to day 14 (see images below). Images of day 38 post-op. The next image shows my scalp from day 14 post-op:

Love the result. By the way, can you tell if there was still some redness present after 6 months because I had my HT 5 wks ago and I start to worry a little bit.
