October 21, 2015
Asked By:jmjohnmayer in Big Indian, NY

Unfortunately 13 days after my 4000 FUE hair transplant i went out in the sun around like 2 minutes and the sun is very hot. After that exposure i was felt like burning on the recipient area and numbness. I was not having these sensation's before sun exposure. It is my 14th day after FUE and am still having the numbness in my recipient area. I am scared that did i damaged my nerves so it is causing numbness. Please help me.
