3,200 graft FUE. Entire donor area skin appears discolored (whitish/greyish) with lots of tiny scars, bumps and bruises (Photo)

Hi i'm 5 days post op and am getting concerned about my donor area which doesn't appear to be healing correctly. The entire donor area skin has a lighter/whitish complexion which really stands out from the other parts of my head. If I run my hands through the region I feel very small hairs and lots of tiny little bumps and what feels like scabs. There is some numbness and minor pain as well. The other hairs on my scalp have grown much faster. Is this normal for healing and should I be worried?
