Regular Member Saskue Posted July 1, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted July 1, 2012 First of all its been just under 4 weeks now since my temple/ hairline lowering transplant.. the shockloss seems to be still happening (been doing so for about 2 weeks now) but hopefully will slow down as been 2 weeks of it. Right my main worry here is should a shed hair graft look like the pic I have included or is the black bulb at the end bad news? Quite a few of my fallen hairs seem to have this black bit at the end... this worries me. Another thing is I have washed my hair everyday since with the baby shampoo at the front and my normal Alpecin at the back. I have what I think (hope) is a pimple thats a bit red abd bloody the last day or two... I touched it gently and its actually quite painfull, like a stinging sensation. Is this a pimple of a lost graft? i can't honestly see how it would be a lost graft though as I have been extra careful, even wearing socks on my hands when sleeping. Another quick question I have is I have never used Rogaine before and thinking of starting it to make my hair lost through the shockloss to all grow back healthy and hopefully at a better rate... is it a bad time for me to start in Rogaine having never used it before? Really worried, someone offer some wisdom please. :eek: I hope my pics help. Kind regards Saskue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted July 2, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi Saskue, Aside from the few "red" spots, it all looks pretty normal for the 4 week mark. Keep in mind that shedding is still very normal at this stage, and dislodged grafts will usually occur from the 0-10 day mark and involve noticeable bleeding. The small areas of irritation could be caused by a variety of things. Frankly, while it's likely that the spots are caused by simple irritation (or something of this manner), I highly recommend contacting your operating clinic/physician and asking for advice. It's always best to follow their post-operative advice as closely as possible. Good luck!

Regular Member Saskue Posted July 2, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thank you for the info. I have really been following everything post-op instructions tell me. I have been wearing a loose beanie hat allot but its always clean, maybe this could be the cause of this red spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
