nakibOct 17, 2018

I had transplant done July 2018 in September transplanted are turned red and very thick flaky. I used the anti dandruff shampoo few times it reduced the discomfort a bit now after couple of weeks the flakes started falling but it’s got a lot of hair in there the parts from where the flakes are falling. Is clear skin now, I don’t see any hair there now has my transplant been affected? Thank you .
