Hi! I did a hair transplant with FUE method 2,5 months ago. Since the operation my head has been itching regularly, but I have avoided scratching. I press with the back of my fingers on the area to ease the itching. However, I think I might scratch my head at night in my sleep because I have recently, last 2-3 weeks, have small wounds on my head, maybe 3-6 in total. I have seen blood stains on my pillow and I have crusts on my head from the wounds. Should I be worried? Is it normal? What to do?

Answer: It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
4000 FUE harvesting may well cause donor area depletion unless you have an above average donor density.You wont be able to tell until your scalp heals over the next several months.
