Redness would generally go away within a month, so the fact you still have significant redness after 2 months means you should go see your doctor about what may be causing it. Numbness at 2 months is less atypical, but while you talk to your doctor about the redness bring it up and see what they say. Generally numbness is only something to worry about if it's still there after 4-6 months.

Post-op redness will occur both in the recipient area and the donor area. The degree and length of time in which both areas will remain pink or red, will largely depend on the individual's skin tone. Redness in the recipient area occurs due to the presence of newly formed blood vessels and inflammation from the placement of the new grafts. Some patients are lucky and either don't experience it at all, or it goes away quickly. It appears that those with fairer skin may be more vulnerable to extended redness. It is beter to consult with your surgeon  before using any kind of shampoo or medication
