Asked By:S6 Owl in Sheffield UK

Hi everyone, I have had a few FUE procedures on my hairline to try and increase density there. The latest was 7 months ago and basically i am still getting pain and discomfort along the hairline in a particular spot. It hurts if i brush my hair there or the wind catches it. I have been back to see my surgeon a couple of months ago and he said to not do anything at all, but to just leave it and hopefully it should settle down within the first 12 months at some point. But i am a little worried..
