Regular Member Pilot Ron Posted July 29, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm about 2 months post-op and have noticed a few blood blisters in my donor scar. They are purple in color and caused discomfort when combing. I had a friend "relieve" them, however, my concern is that in a few weeks they reappeared. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a sign of the scar "fixing" itself? Thanks, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted July 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2009 Pilot Ron, I know it's hard to get the shot, but please post some pics. Two questions: 1. Have you contacted your clinic about it? 2. Is it possible that you could be describing a pimple that has formed because a hair in trying to penetrate the surface? take care...

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted July 29, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sounds like deep sutures trying to extrude. You should contact your doctor for advice.

Regular Member Pilot Ron Posted July 31, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 31, 2009 I have not yet contacted my clinic about the issue. I had my hair transplant done in New York at Dr. Feller's office two months ago. Staples were used. I will however, be back in New York on August 20, so I might swing by just for safe measure. If the blisters come back, I will definitely try to capture a photo. But so far, so good. I will keep my fingers crossed. Thank you for the input.
