Guest Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 I have noticed that on my head where I had a FU - HT that in that area there is a slight raised area of skin underneath the transplants. In other words, when I run my fingers over my scalp I can feel that the area where the HT begins, I can feel my scalp rise underneath. I was told that this is because of scar tissue underneath and is common for people in their mid 20's. My question is if this is true? If so, how can this be avoided or is it just normal for scar tissue to form underneath causing a raising of the scalp area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member arfy Posted May 27, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted May 27, 2002 This doesn't sound right to me. Does the doctor say that this is supposed to go back to normal? Or is this a permanent condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 It would be permanent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member arfy Posted May 28, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted May 28, 2002 I've never heard of it. Of course, I don't know everything Post this question in the "ask the doctors" forum. You might consult with another doctor... It sounds similar to cobblestoning...is it? Or is it a broader area than just each graft being raised?
