I am 24 years old male. I had my PRP 4 months back. From that I am facing mild headaches. The headache is very mild. But it is present most of the time. I can also feel that part where I was injected are somewhat swollen. Swollen mean when I touch my scalp, I can feel that the part where I was injected is still uneven. Shall I be concerned about this. What might be the reason for the pain? Is it due to the scalp still not healed properly or shall I take an mri?
