Odan2612Feb 21, 2019
6 weeks ago I had fue 2000 graft's, most of the transplanted hair has fallen out which I'm not worried that much about, its the redness around the area. I was wondering if there is something I could be doing to help it like creams, tablets or maybe PRP someone please help, also the pictures don't really do the redness justice. Thanks
