Regular Member waitforanagen Posted November 28, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2012 Growing a little concerned about my donor scar. Standard FUT, trichophytic closure, about 3 months post op. The scar along the back of my head is raised and red.... while along the sides it is flat (but still reddish). I have had the same issue with other scars on my body (e.g. prior surgery) where the scars are red and quite raised many,many years post op. I will of course ask my Dr about it but, is this normal? Will the scar shrink back flat over time? Anything you can do about it anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Icecreamman Posted November 28, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hey man, part of my scar was like hat for a while as well. It definitely healed but it did take some time. You'll most likely be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted November 28, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2012 Wait, At three months, it's too early to tell how your scar will form. At this point in time, I think the best thing you can do is keep excessive strain/stretching off the donor region and watch for any signs of potential infection. Good luck!
