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?

We recommend that our clients return to mild work out after two weeks, moderate work out after three weeks and heavy work out after four weeks. However, in general both the recipient and the donor areas should be completely healed before returning to heavy work out.
