I would like to ask if anyone has any advice on redness after 10 months?

AIIIGHTJul 23, 2021
Hello, I had a hair transplant procedure (2000) around 10 months ago. I have been very happy with the hair itself and feel that part of the procedure was very successful. However, there is still some faint but persistent redness on my scalp, and the skin still feels a little tight and more sensitive than the other areas. I have very fair skin and so did expect a longer lasting reaction, but I would like to ask if anyone has any advice on how I might address this particular complaint.
