What is this strange line at top of my donor zone after FUE? (Photo)

Dannyboy1985
Hi there, in Jan 2018 I had a 2500 graft FUE Hair Transplant. On the whole I am happy with the procedure however I have one big concern. I like to cut my hair at the back to grade 1-2. at this length you would not see the small FUE scars. However for some reason I have a scar at the top of my donor zone. Almost like they over harvested the very top of the donor zone. Any advice as to what this line/scar is & the best approach to fix it
