Jae Pak, MD · Answer

If you are having post operative issues, it is best to contact your doctor for a follow up examination. Redness can be a sign of infection.

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

The redness should have subsided by now but it isn't uncommon for it to persist a bit longer. If it continues you may need to consult with a different hair restoration specialist. It could possible be folliculitis and is tratable. Let us know how it goes.

the redness should eventually go away, but if it persists after one month you need to see a doctor for a follow up.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Some people have histamine positive skin which retains the pink color for a while. Eventually it will abate
