Question

I had an fue a year ago. The doctor seemed inexperienced and I can't go back for aftercare as it was in another country. My current predicament is discolouration in recipient area, this is not sun burn. Why may this be and how to care or make better

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

Thank you for your question.Redness at this time appears to be from persistent inflammation. Please contact a Board Certified Dermatologist / Plastic Surgeon who is experienced in this procedure who can help you. All The Best !

Janet Turkle, MD · Answer

Thank you for your inquiry and sorry to hear you are having an issue. Redness one year post hair transplant is not an expected outcome. Please contact an expert in your area for a consultation to determine next step options for you. Best of luck!

Redness after a year is not the norm and needs an in-person evaluation.  I am curious as to why you're shaving your head a year after having an FUE procedure?

David Perez-Meza, MD, FISHRS · Answer

Great question. Yes, it is not normal the redness after one year of the hair transplant. If your surgeon is not available then I will suggest you to book a consultation with a local hair loss and experienced doctor. Good luck.

The treatment of persistent redness is often a topical steroid, but first see your surgeon and have him review your results and build a plan for you going forward to address the Redness
