Wore a helmet after transplant. Please help me understand the impact

[trek]

I assumed that I can resume my normal life 7 days after transplant and used a helmet while driving for 30 minutes (15 minutes to and fro) on the 8th day after FUE transplant. What the level of risk due to this?

You shouldn’t wear a helmet until a month

I got to know of after it later. I’m wondering what kinda damage might have happened for the duration I used. Is it something I should worry?

The advice is because helmets generally fit tightly and rub against the implanted hair when putting on and taking off. They also are more likely to promote sweating.

If you haven't had an infection, don't have excessive redness and didn't see any bleeding I would say you're probably ok.
