Over the last few days for some reason, my recipient area is getting quite itchy? I am 7 weeks post op. Any thoughts on why it's starting to itch now? Any suggestions on how to alleviate the itching? Thanks.

Answer: Itching Generally itching is more common early on after the transplant. At that time spraying with some cold saline or even water is beneficial. I would make sure there isn't any crusting or infection but in general the delayed itching at the donor site is a good sign that there is activity! The hairs are awakening! Hope that helps!
