Scalp very sensitive 7 months after FUE. Will it ever improve?

Fierce5149Jun 17, 2021
Its been 7 months since my FUE hair transplant in Turkey. Today the sun was shining and I sat outside for not so long and my scalp got burned, but my face didnt. Also if I touch my scalp gently it becomes red. This indicates to me that my scalp is very sensitive. My transplant was a complete disaster so I like to do SMP to cover the scars on my donor area.. My question: will my scalp become normal ever again?

Each individual varies with number of hair transplants they can have over a lifetime. Typically FUT procedures allow for more donor hairs to be harvested over the course of a lifetime compared to FUE.

It is safe to apply garlic and onion oil but not sure what the purpose of that would be. Dandruff would best be treated with Nizarol shampoo

Cowlicks are features that a lot of people have in their hair. Depending on the location and number, they can make it challenging to style the hair. But hair transplants should not be used to try to correct a cowlick, particularly if there is no hair loss. The transplant itself can cause hair...

You are Norwood 6-7 and in this scale you need at least two operation to get 80% coverage. You might need body hair for more density.
