FUE hair treatment, after 3 weeks donor area still very itchy and red. (Photos)

November 10, 2017
Asked By:Ramibaki in Granville, 02

I had my fue hair treatment 3 weeks ago now and had done 6000 graphs. Still till now my donor area is still red, itchy, and some pimples are showing. Laying on the back of my head is very irritating. Is there a possibility it may be infected ? I’m also shedding a lot of hair from my treated area.
