Is it possible to physically "feel" the growth of the hair transplants after 5 months?

Asked By:glycLA in Los Angeles, CA

Dear doctors, i guess i have a very uncommon question.I had a FUE HT with 2500 grafts in the frontal area 5 months ago. Everything seems good so far but since a couple of weeks my skin is very sensitive in the reception area.It's very difficult to explain,it feels like i do have some kind of pressure on the skin,it feels tight,sometimes it's itching. That feeling stays the whole day 24/7,but it never hurts.Could this be because i am in the growth phase? Am i just hyper-sensitive? Is that normal?
