Is this normal? Dead/peeling skin on forehead after hair transplant...

[jttx85]

I'm almost 2 weeks post OP after FUE surgery and I've noticed in the past few days, after I shower, there's a lot of dead skin and peeling skin on my forehead right under the hairline. If I just rub on it, it starts falling off. Is this normal?

Hi Jttx85,

 

There is some peeling to be expected but this is not so much skin as it can be from the crusts that build up on some patients after a procedure. There are scabs and there are crusts and the crusting is sometimes a clear covering that is the result of clear fluid seepage from the wounds that dries up. This is what causes the "cracks" in the recipient scalps of some patients. I can't be sure if this is what you're referring to or not but you should contact the clinic by phone to get some clarity on this. If the doctor is in surgery then send an email with the question as a follow up. You should also send photos or consider coming into the office if you are near. I hope this helps.
