Hi, On day 12 after my FUE transplant i was involved in a minor traffic accident causing me to bump my forehead very hard into the steering-weel. It caused a little bleeding and now on day 20 i notice that some of the follicles that were bleeding is now bald and the ones that still have hair has not grown any longer since the accident what is most likely to have happened? Is the hair lost forever? (The pictures are taken 2 hours after the accident and i sprayed the area with sterile salt water)
