Allergic reaction from eating shellfish should not impact your transplanted hairs.  However if you are concerned, contact your doctor.

William Woessner, MD · Answer

No the urticaria (hives) will have no lasting affect on your FUE transplant. You can proceed as though nothing ever happened. Do not worry and follow your doctors directions.

This should not impact the recipient grafts unless your scratched the hive area. Keep your hands off of it. The allergy will subside.
