Senior Member StaggerLee123 Posted January 2, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 2, 2012 Everybody is different. Some lucky ones heal up very fast and some of us, usually the lighter skinned ones, heal up slower. At only 3 months out I don't think that some redness in the recipient area is anything that unusual so I would just relax and not get too worked up. Good luck and grow well!!

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted January 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2012 I also stayed pink for months. It's perfectly normal. It will even out in time. Best of luck!

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Are you very fair skinned? I would definitely avoid any direct sun exposure without sun block until transplanted area returns to normal skin color.

Senior Member blkblk Posted January 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2012 I am now at the 24 day mark and most of my redness has disappeared now, however I have developed a strong red blotch about the size of my palm on the left side of my scalp. This seems to coincide with when I began putting minodoxil on my head a week ago. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it is common or whether I have something which I need to be concerned about. It does not itch or hurt in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Tonycc Posted January 6, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2012 Do you have pictures? Trying to judge how intense the redness is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member uzy Posted January 6, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2012 I am in 4th month and have no redness or any problem , i think if you using minoxdill that make skin redness on few people check with your doctor . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member blkblk Posted January 7, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 7, 2012 Tonycc: interestingly enough, I noticed last time I checked that it had almost disappeared. I think it must have been a reaction to the minox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Levrais Posted January 8, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 8, 2012 It can also depend on what part of the scalp the work was done. I noticed redness in the hairline and temple points for months but not so much on the crown and top 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
