Asked By:KazKra in Turkey, TR

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?
