I experienced a pain like a needle poke in my head in the transplanted area

I walking out in the roads after 6pm. I experienced a pain like a needle poke in my head in the transplanted area. I had sweat as well. It's my 12th day post op. Kindly educate me why this is happened or let me know if there is any concern.

Yugesh,

While it’s not too abnormal to experience the occasional semi-sharp pain or some dull aching during the healing process, I would not consider anything I experienced after my hair transplant anything like that.

When was your procedure?   Did you undergo FUT or FUE hair transplant surgery?

Personally, I suggest contacting your hair transplant surgeon / clinic to discuss your situation and garner their input regarding what you’re experiencing.

Wishing you a safe and painless healing process and experience moving forward,

It sounds like nerve pain related to the recipient incisions that were made, very normal experience.

Most likely nerve pain as @gillenatormentioned, more than a common occurrence after FUE. Dude you gotta stop worrying 👍🏽🙏

You'll probably have that happen occasionally for a few more weeks.  Remember, you essentially just had your scalp annihilated.  This stuff is normal.

I also had these needle like sensations when the regrowth started approximately 3 months or so post-op…new growth breaking through the scalp.

I experienced similar sensations for the first 3-4 weeks in the donor area, and it was determined to be nerve related - and not uncommon. It's almost definitely temporary and nothing to be alarmed about. The punctures/incisions in the scalp don't go deep enough to do actual damage to the nerves, but it can irritate them a bit. That may be all you were experiencing.
