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

nima44
I'm 40 years old.I was diagnosed with early stage of male pattern baldness and I've been using finasteride since 1year ago.I've received 2 sessions of prp injection.Since 6 months ago(20 days after the second session of prp)I've experienced prickling,tingling and itching in my scalp,hands and feet,hives on my forearms,palpitation and hot flashes which partially responded to antihistamines and gradually improved but not completely. What's the cause?Should I receive third session of prp injection?
