Pain 12 days after hair transplant. Is this normal?

People experience pain differently.  Some have hardly any pain. Some complain of pain for weeks.  Most have some form of pain for one to two weeks.  If you are having pain it is best to contact your doctor.

It is not unusual to have some discomfort and itching for a few weeks following a procedure.Most of the itching is secondary to the normal healing process.If these symptoms persist for more than a few weeks or increase in intensity than I would recommend returning to your Hair Restoration surgeon for an evaluation.

Mild to moderate discomfort is not unusual for the first month after transplant. Some people experience more, others less, it just depends on the patient. You can ask your doctor for recommendations to relieve the pain. If the pain gets worse or doesn't go away after another month then definitely contact them about it.

It is common to have some itching and even slight redness at this point in your recovery. Continue to follow your doctors post op care instructions, and perhaps give a call to your clinic to see what they recommend to relieve the itching.

The itching that occasionally follows a Hair transplantation surgery is most commonly caused by post operative crusting. Less often, it is due to excessive drying of the scalp from aggressive shampooing, an infection such as infectious eczematoid dermatitis, an allergic reaction to topically applied agents, or a previously existing skin condition (such as psoriasis). For any injury, including surgery, the healing process begins with blood clotting to form a scab. As new collagen is produced and replenished at the wound site, as well as elastin fibers, it is this portion of healing that can cause scar itching and discomfort. If you experience a severe pain,  then contact your surgeon immediately in order to be sure that if there  is any infection or not
