Regular Member SilverScreen Posted February 8, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm 7 months post FUT transplant, and just in the last few weeks I started noticing my recipient area having a bumpy appearance. I'm so distressed about it because it's very noticeable when I pull my hair back into a ponytail and out in the sun. I hope it's not permanent cobblestone scarring but everything I've read points to it. I just thought that the HT method used on me was supposed to have very low risks for that. I've contacted my surgeon but he takes a few days to respond. I'm very worried and I wanted to see what everyone thought this might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member SilverScreen Posted February 9, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2014 I know my hair and scalp are 'different' than most here, not sure if that's why there are no replies, but any insight would be appreciated.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted February 9, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2014 It's hard to say since your photos have your hair pulled back. Is the same effect present when your hair is not pulled back? Regardless, you shouldn't judge anything at this point. The scalp takes time to heal and even though you've got hair growing the scalp tissue itself takes time to settle down and flatten out.

Yes, it's still the same when my hair isn't pulled back, I just wanted to give as much visibility as possible... My concern is that I'm at the 7 month mark and I just noticed them within the last month. I keep reading that scarring usually starts to set in around this time if you're going to get any. My scalp was fine before, I didn't get bumps or pimples, and just had one minor cyst that seemed to resolve itself early on. You do think it's possible that I'm going through another phase of healing, and they may not be permanent scars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcd0000 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I don't want to sound harsh, but there may be an issue. Wait and see how it heals, perhaps avoiding to pull the hairs during the first months might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
