Hi, i have done FUE hair transplant with 3300 grafts. I am currently on the 4th post op day and just today i started to have a lot of pain in the donor area. It seems like the pain is coming just below the crown area on the back and the pain level from 0-10 i would rate it 7. Today in the morning it wasnt that bad, i took a painkiller and helped, but in the evening it started to get worse. Is this random and normal? Thanks a lot

There's nothing in particular to expect at two weeks past your surgery. Growth could start anywhere between 3 to 9 months, so at two weeks you have a good amount of time before you should start to see anything happening.
There is no special scar cream after FUE surgery. You will always have a scar after any surgery. Scar creams are generally marketed to flatten scars but they don't always work as advertised.
That's normal. Grafts can have anywhere up to 4 hairs each- generally single grafts are placed on the edge of the hairline and 2s 3s and 4s go more inside. This makes the transition towards your natural, thicker hair more smooth and (hopefully) prevents it from looking like you had the transplant.
