Asked By:ahm3d in India, IN

Hi, I have had 2 hair transplants via strip method. (2500 grafts) My skin is uneven at the donor area, looks like a bump. It does not appear all along the complete line of scar, few parts of the scar line is normal with rest of my head (as shown in current picture). I was given contractubex gel to be applied. The redness has subside (see current picture) but the skin still feels uneven & bumpy. Do I have to bother? M considering FUE for 3rd time. Did I make mistake by going with strip method?
