Senior Member bennyt89 Posted February 16, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I'm 11 days post op. This was literally the last scab on my recepient to come off, so I'd be a bit peeved if it's a case of a damaged or lost graft. As pictured, you can see the red dots in the temple area. There was no bleeding or pain whatsoever but I'm still a bit worried as this never occurred with the other scabs. I was not using much force so I'm not sure. Have sent to my HT doctor for review but keen to get some thoughts. Edited February 16, 2018 by bennyt89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted February 16, 2018 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2018 Looks rather normal at this point. I wouldn't worry too much about it, but you can keep an eye on it to see if it spreads. If it does look like it's spreading out over the next few days then contact the Dr for possibly some antibiotics or at least his opinion, but at this point it looks normal.

Senior Member gillenator Posted February 16, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2018 Was there any heavy bleeding from it?...if not, it's probably not an issue.

Senior Member bennyt89 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2018 Was there any heavy bleeding from it?...if not, it's probably not an issue. No bleeding or pain whatsoever. I sent the photo to my doc and it says it's just raw skin and no problem. (This was the biggest and most stubborn scab on the recepient so naturally was the last to come off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted February 20, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2018 Yep, the hair that came off with the scab/crust was just the graft hair that was shed with the scab....absolutely normal and par for the course.

Senior Member mattj Posted February 21, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2018 It doesn't look like a lost graft and it doesn't sound from your description that you lost a graft either. It's just mild inflammation and not uncommon. The follicle within the area of redness should be fine. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.
