Fungus occured post 20 days of 2000 drafts FUE Surgery, will this effect the regrowth? (photos)

Watson 96May 11, 2018
Dear Doctors, I went through 2000 drafts FUE surgery. After 30 days I found my scalp being white.. My doctor told me that it became fungus infected because I wasn't rubbing my scalp while doing shampoo. He cleaned it properly and there is no such wound. He gave me medications for the next 10days and said this won't occur again. Because the fungus were in the beginning stage of infection. Did fungus shove off the new drafts and will there be no growth of hairs in the past infected area. TIA.

FUE is just a harvesting method.  It does not relate to results.  If you want to keep your hair very short you may want the FUE.   FUE also requires shaving your head.  FUT does not require a shave.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs days to weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care and issues as each doctor has their unique regimen.  Bruising is not common.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  If you shave your head for surgery, it would be evident until your hair grows out long enough.Most people return to work in 5 to 7 days.
