Asked By:Guyfrom300 in International Falls, MN

There has been very slight regrowth in the area i have pointed to in one of the photos. It's been 3 months since the surgery. I've had no pain. Donor area seems to be healing very well. It's just this spot. There is some redness there and I needed to know if the redness is a problem and if the hair in the area still has time to regrow? Thanks!

Answer: The redness is because the scar is still healing, additionally if there was tension on the closure you can get some shock loss.
