Donor area after HT

[tuscansun]

Since i am not able to see my donor area I can feel some bumps in the donor. So just wanted to know if its the scab or the scalps overlaping. If its the scab then its going to fade away rite..

Tuscansun,

 

I do not know how long it has been but you can expect some swelling in that area as well for a week or two. Also, the fluid shot into kill pain can cause these bumps simular to forehead swelling as the fluid moves down the face area around day 3-6. Take it easy, use some ice and it will go away in time.

You will be fine. After my procedure i noticed that the staples scabbed over very quickly. The only real issue i had was with itching. That is casued by the healing proccess itself. Donot worry.

I had weird little lumpy areas for weeks afterwards. I think it was just localized skin swelling from the trauma; all gone now.

thanks all for replying back. Yeah i guess its the scab. So am tempted to take those of but trying not to anymore. I got my staples removed 2 days back.

Be sure to keep it clean and don't be afraid to massage firmly with soap to remove scabs as time goes on ( no nails but good even pressure)

This will prevent excess scarring
