Red patches (no bumps) at donor area 2 years after 200 unit FUE operation

Hi everyone,

I had a 200 unit FUE operation performed at The Giannotto Clinic in Virginia. Unfortunately, they are closed now so I can't go back to ask about it : (. 

It's been two years after the op and I still have light red patches at the donor areas. It's not bumpy and isn't causing me any discomfort (which might be why I haven't worried about it). But recently, I cut my hair short and people have been asking me to get it checked out. I'm not sure if its folliculitis. Please see attached photos.

Does anyone have the same thing or have any insight? Thanks in advance!

Looks like a birthmark. We call them stork bites.  I would say that they are not related.

That's a tricky one.  Not sure what has caused that.  It's probably a temporary issue. I'm curious that you only had a 200 graft procedure?  Did you leave out a zero (2,000)?  Can you tell us a bit more?

Actually, I had thousands done at Virginia Surgical Center but when I wanted the 200 units, they had some personal issues going on so I went with Giannotto for the FUE.
