Asked By:nima44 in Dearborn, MI

I'm 40 years old.I was diagnosed with early stage of male pattern baldness.I've received 3 sessions of prp injection.Since 20 days after the second session,l've experienced prickling,tingling and itching in my scalp and body and hives on my forearms which partially responded to antihistamines.My doctor told me l may have a predisposition to allergy which has been triggered by prp injection.Can this be possible?If so, how long after the injection will the prp be active to cause this effect?
