Can PRP injection in the scalp cause prolonged complications in the scalp and the rest of the body?

Thank you for your question. It is highly unlikely the symptoms you are experiencing are due to the PRP injections into your scalp. In essence, you are having your own platelets and plasma re-injected. The best analogy I can draw to PRP is when you scraped your knee as a child, the sticky yellow substance on the surface and around the edges is close to PRP. It is what helped heal the wound and skin grow back in. You may want to consider scheduling an appointment with an allergist to see if there is something else you are coming in contact with that is precipitating your symptoms. I would wait on doing a 3rd PRP session until you get to the root cause of your symptoms.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Thanks for your question. You should speak both with your hair doctor and your internist (you also may need an allergist). I have done over 500 PRP injections, and I have never had a patient have what you are describing. That being said, it sounds like you are describing an allergic reaction. You should be tested to figure out what you have an allergy to... it is unlikely it is the PRP. Most allergies do not have more than a 3 day delay, and surely not a 20 day delay. More likely, you have an environemntal or food allergy. Best of luck figuring out what you are reacting to...
