Asked By:Svennie in Putten, 03

Hello. On day 8 after my 2300 FUE hair transplant, I went to a friend of mine. After about 20-25 minutes I started noticing that my recipient area got irritated. I then noticed I was sitting underneath a lamp that was producing quit some heat. After, I immediately sat somewhere else, and the irritated feeling went away after 1-2 minutes. Could the heat from the lamp have negativelt impacted my hair transplant? Attached are photo's of after the incident.
