Is redness in the donor area 1 month post hair transplant (FUE) an issue?

September 1, 2018
Asked By:Medico di base in Italy, IT

I am a family medicine doctor, I did a hair transplant 6 weeks ago with 5100 hair follicles until now I still have redness in the donor area. My doctor doesn't recommend any treatment and recommends to wait for 3 months after the hair transplant for re-evaluation. I am in a hurry because I am a doctor and I think a weak hydrocortisone lotion will solve the problem in a week but I need another opinion to support my doctor's opinion or my opinion according to a hair transplant specialist experience.
