Itchyness on the receipt area
Answer: Itching of scalp after transplant It is not uncommon to experience itching of the scalp where the new grafts were placed. At 2 1/2 months you are early in the growth process. In a lot of cases the hairs don't even begin to grow until the fourth month. But I suspect this is due to the new growth beginning. While the itching is most like due to the new growth it would be wise to visit your transplant surgeon to have the scalp evaluated to rule out other conditions.

Answer: 2.5 months post hair transplant Patients can typically expect the beginning of noticeable growth at 3 months post procedure. This may account for the sensation of itching/tingling.Many of the transplanted follicles will shed the hair shaft and proceed from resting to growth phase in the weeks following your procedure. As the new shaft begins to emerge, some patients report new sensations of itching/tingling.As always, discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.Donovan Rosas MD

Answer: Itchy and Tingly Scalp after Transplant Hi and thanks for your question. Yes, I agree with the other surgeons that this sounds completely normal. Healing skin is inflamed and this causes itching and nerves regrowing causes tingling. Good luck.

Answer: Itching and tingling normal at 2.5 months after FUE This is a combination of nerve regrowth and hair growth. The insertion sites cause a small amount of trauma that in some patients can lead to several months of itching as healing progresses. If there is any change in the appearance (bumps, redness) please see your surgeon soon. Otherwise, you can use Benedryl at night to help with itching.
