2 Years After FUE Oily Skin & Little Swollen


Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

First of all I'm new on HRN. 2 years after my last FUE I decided to shave my head. After doing so I found out that my skin is so oily & looks little swollen especially in direct sunlight. When the sun shines facing my back you see a line under my hairline, because the skin under my transplant area is thick (unable to take a photo of that because of the direct sunlight in the camera) I took some pictures of the swollen area, but there not that clear.

Is this normal? Can I do something about it?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Newbie.

Hi Phoenix,

 

Swelling and excessive scalp "oil" two years after an FUE procedure is not something I've heard of before. Are you certain this is related to the hair transplant? Is possible that you haven't seen your head "shaved" in a long time and it simply looks different than you remembered?

Hi HairPhoenix,

 

Welcome to the forum!! It is too difficult to determine what the issue you're describing could be, from the photos that you posted here. To be honest, I don't see anything at all. I'm not saying that there isn't anything there, I just can't personally see anything!

 

In regards to the things your describing, have you seen a dermatologist at all? I think this would be the first step I'd take before I did anything else. If you are convinced that what you're describing is specifically related to your transplant, I would reach out to the surgeon that did your procedure and ask for his/her advice.

 

Again, sorry I can't be of more assistance, but I am unable to conclude anything from your photos.

 

Keep us posted on what you find out!

 

Best,

 

Mike

Hi guys thanks for the replies!

 

@Future_HT_Doc Before I had my FUE I always shaved my head and never noticed any oily or swollen skin so I think I can say 99% for sure that it started after my FUE.

 

@blahblah1982 I think you're right.

 

 

@agenteye Hi Mike, I was thinking of hypertrophic scar or keloid but I haven't seen a dermatologist yet but I'm definitely gonna contact a dermatologist. Thanks for that!
