This is 30 days post FUE session which consisted of 3900 grafts. Is this an infection or something worse? (photos)

I'm worried about the dark-yellowish spots near the crown? My surgeon says that I shouldn't be worried as it is due to the dehydration of the scalp and I am using a hair moisturizing cream to counter this.I am really nervous.Please help.

You can resume your normal activity well after a month after surgery.  If you feel there is an issue it is best to follow up with your doctor.

Instead of panicking, it would be best to contact your doctor for a follow up in the office.  Many doctors offer cleaning and washing in their office to help you with the scabbing.

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  You may have lost your existing (original) hairs as new transplanted hairs grew out.

Shock hair loss after a hair transplant is always a risk.  Unfortunately shock hair loss of genetically susceptible hairs may not grow back.  If it does grow back it may take several months.  Follow up with your doctor for a recheck.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. Many doctors have their own lotions and recommendations for the donor area.

You can wear your hair in any style after your surgery.  If you wish to wear bangs after surgery, then go ahead.  If you believe there is an issue, discuss your concern with your doctor.
