Redness in the recipient area one month after FUE hair transplant, what can I do?

Stooby69
I had a FUE transplant hairline restoration op on the 2nd May. One month on, the redness in the recipient area is very visible, no other symptoms of infection, itching, swelling fever etc. From most responses, that you advise a follow up appointment with the surgeon however my only point of contact, my patient co-ordinator, keeps telling me to wait and has offered no advice or any assistance in aiding the recovery. Numerous sites state that all signs of the procedure should be gone by now.
