Regular Member GHTJourneya Posted January 27, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 27, 2022 Although I am not particularly worried about this, I put it up mostly for educational purposes. I am post-op day 13, and as I was washing I noticed a little red spot, so I rubbed it a bit and it ended up becoming even more red 🙈. It is a tiny dot, and only one, but I was wondering what happens to these? Was it some kind of ingrown hair? (photos taken from 10cm away and 5mm away with a little gadget that I have) Sorry for that level of nerd hypochondria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you can't tell is a good sign I guess. Mostly on my temples, this little red dot is included in the transplanted area, although I am not entirely sure it is one of the transplanted follicles. I lowered the temples but I also added some more grafts further back, so I don't really know what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant where in the world (at what clinic) was it performed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant where in the world (at what clinic) was it performed? At Dr. R. de Freitas, supposedly one of the best in the world, and to be honest I am extremely satisfied with how smooth it was. I think this little wound is not related to my HT, I think I rubbed my head too much around that area because I was worried there were scabs. It is likely that it was an ingrown hair or something else and I messed it up a bit 🐒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
