I had a FUT process done exactly two months ago. Is the redness of my scalp normal? It is also a bit tender. I'm 34 years of age and of East Asian descent. I know it's difficult to tell much by an image, but any feedback would be appreciated.

Answer: If you have post surgical issues, please contact your doctor. Your doctor knows the details of you surgery and can best answer y
Itching at two weeks is pretty normal after a transplant, so it may go away in another week or two. It could also be a side effect of the Rogaine, since that can cause some minor irritation as one of the side effects. If it doesn't clear up within a month post op or the itching gets worse talk...
Some doctors would say wait a week. In general make sure the cap is loose and be mindful when you're taking it off and putting it on and your transplants should be alright.
From the photograph it appears that
you have limited donor options as well as retrograde alopecia. It is important
to have a consultation with a hair restoration expert prior to a procedure, in
order to discuss your options as well as set reasonable expectations.
