samson1979
After 2 weeks post fue Ht my hair in the donor zone started to fall out. Just around my ear as you can see on the picture. After reading some blog post i think this is an example of chock loss (in the donor area). Is this chock loss as my spot is really bald and not only thinner hair? Why do some people (I read less than 5%) experience chock loss? Can I do something about it and will the be permanent or just temp? If temp when should I see a change? anyone wih the same experience or advise?
