1 month post-op: blood spots when I wake-up on the side at which I slept in both donor and recipient areas.

hebaZakJul 16, 2017
If i sleep on my right side (where my donor site is) i wake up to find small blood spots on that side of my head .. is this normal ? I'm already 30 days after my FUE hair transplant. Another thing, i wear a scarf over my head loosely for 8 to 10 hours a day, will any friction from my scarf affect my hair at this point ?? One last thing, my recipient site itches atleast for an hour daily, i massage it but it results in blood spots coming out smtimes which i find on my pillow, is this bad ?
