One day after my FUE Beard Transplant, I went outside during the night and there was a dust wave and the air was dusty. I covered the transplanted area with my scarf. Should I be concered? Would this have any affect on the growth of the transplanted grafts?

Answer: Dust exposure in a normal sense should be fine. If you have issue or concerns it is best to follow up with your doctor.
As you rightfully state: "it does depend on seeing your doctor since everyone is different". In general you need to wait to see the transplanted hair grow out. This takes 6 to 12 months.

It is normal for the skin to get red and irritated post facial hair transplant. This phase typically lasts about a month and does settle down naturally. If it does not steroids and medications can be considered to settle down the inflammation.
Moustache and beard hair (facial hair) is a secondary male characteristics that starts with puberty. It is also genetic in nature and some men cannot grow a full beard or moustache. There are no creams to make hairs grow.
