Donor area is very itchy. Is it normal?

April 10, 2017
Asked By:Rolop in Australia, AU

I have undergone FUE with 2900 grafts just one month back. Everything went alright and hairs shed all within 3-4 weeks. So far all looking good. But my donor area just started very itchy now from last week. And I do like to scratch when it feels very itchy and sometime very strong that can't resist. Is it normal to have donor very itchy after FUE in 4th week? and should I respond or not?
