In my opinion, hair shed after PRP treatment using PRP alone and not mixed with any additional extracellular Matrix or proteins, is extremely rare. I do not know about the rate of your hair loss prior to beginning PRP. It is possible that you have an active shedding male pattern baldness. It may take another one or two sessions of PRP to decrease the hair loss. If you have started using minoxidil, this is another possible etiology for your hair loss. Itchiness of the scalp is symptomatic of inflammation. This needs to be controlled for the PRP to adequately function and for hair loss to decrease. You need to see a hair expert to determine the etiology of your present hair loss. They will need to do a good history, examination under magnification and pull test. Hope this helps. Good luck.
These symptoms are not typically seen after PRP treatments, so Iwould recommend a follow up with your treating physician. I’m sorry I could notbe more help.
Thanks for your inquiry.Ifyou are experiencing these symptoms, then I would suggest a follow up with yourdoctor.These symptoms are not commonlyassociated with PRP treatments, so checking with your treating physician isyour best bet.Best of luck.
rajeevrahul,I would highly recommend a thorough medical evaluation with a good hair restoration specialist. At the very least it should include a good history, physical, dermoscopy and possibly a scalp biopsy. Furthermore lab work is advised. Was the itchiness present before the prp? Treatment and further recommendations are pending results of above.PRP can produce some swelling and burning discomfort for a day or two. However, it is contra-indicated to treat with and-inflammatory meds as this will diminish the benefit of the PRP which produces an inflammatory response in the injected areas.Kind regards,Bernardino A.

PRP is your own body's bi-product so it is nothing foreign to your scalp. The itchiness may actually be the stimulation of your follicles, which is a good thing! I would try an all natural perfume-free shampoo/conditioner, and clean out your hairbrush. In my opinion, an anti-histamine may be worth a try, always consult your primary physician for medical advice. I hope this helps you, be well. #itchiness #PRP #hairloss
