Senior Member BigBill1234 Posted September 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2010 My donor scar is still very red at 2 months. Looks like it has stretched a bit... Does it being red mean it's taking longer to heal because it's stretching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted September 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2010 BigBill1234, It's not uncommon for scars to stay red beyond two months. Everyone heals differently. I don't believe that this is indicative of delayed healing due to stretching. Have you consulted with your hair restoration physician about your concerns?

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted September 21, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2010 Redness generally peaks at 6 to 8 weeks. But problems also start at this time frame too. I'd suggest a visit to your doc for either reassurance or intervention. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Senior Member Tom60 Posted September 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2010 In this type of surgery, you have to make sure that you understand your body. I would wait a bit longer before I would consult my doctor, but its your call, buddy. Good luck!! Keep us updated on your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
