I had PRP with Acell injections on my scalp 7 days ago with several lymph nodes appearing.

Question

I have no pain, swelling, redness, or any signs of an infection. Overall, I feel very good. However, I have had several small lymph nodes appear near my hairline above temple area, behind one ear and one on top of head. They are not tender to the touch, but were not there prior to tx.

Thank you for your question. It is very difficult to answer your question without examining you. For many  years I have been doing PRP hair injections and It happened ones and resolved within 10-14 days. But you need to make sure that your doctor will see you and give you proper evaluation.

In my opinion, A cell is a foreign protein. It is possible that you had a reaction to the aAcell and your lymph nodes were involved. You should return to your hair loss / PRP expert.PRPHAIRMD.COM

Definitely go to your doctor to get it looked at.  Acell is made from porcine bladder (pig) and perhaps you are having a reaction to it.  Most likely this is drainage from the PRP and post inflammatory process.
