I had 3 PRP injections. She didnt numb my scalp. The first 2 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart went fine. After my 3rd treatment, I've been having a lot of burning for around two months. My scalp is very sensitive to touch. It hurts to brush or even wear a loose hat. I've also lost more hair! Blood tests & a scalp biopsy didn't provide any answers. I'm not sure what to do. Is it possible she hit a nerve? Have you ever heard of this happening? Thank You!!
