Why is sun exposure bad after hair transplant. Very confused. Would like a clear answer. PLEASE!

Dan018
I would like to know why sun exposure is bad. I see many conflicting anwers. Is it because it will cause skin discoloration? Or Is it because it will cause hair grafts to not grow? Or Both? different websites and doctors say different things and it is making me confused. I just want to know. I accidently went in the sun for 10 minutes on day 14 post op. And for my own peace of mind I want to know if its my skin that could be damaged or if my hair wont grow. More concerned of my hair.
