Redness at almost 2 months post op?

May 9, 2016
Asked By:tote1999 in Ottawa, ON

I have had a hair transplant almost 2 months ago. Recipient area still red. I have erythema and have been prescribed a topical cream but seems to be doing little. Can the redness be permanent? Are there are alternatives to reduce the redness?
