Asked By:dazzler3000 in Newcastle, AU

So i am 2 days after my FUE and been super careful but typically me being so unlucky as usual I was at the airport walking when i felt a really strong blast of wind hit my entire top of head. Now terrified it has dislodged or damaged my grafts. I can't see much other that a tiny bit of blood but hard to tell if that wasn't there already. Bt afterwards my graft area was really tingling but it could be just me being paranoid. Would it be fresh running blood if damaged? Are the pics normal 2 days after?
