Today is my 8th month of post-HT. My hair density is still too low and it is almost same as it was on 6th month.From last week my transplanted area (frontal) is continuiously itching. I am also noticing a number of small redish bumps on the skin of the frontal transplanted area. I guess, these bumps are itching. Is it a bad sign? What are these bumps? How to get rid of these bumps and itching irritation? I am regularly using minoxidil twice a day.

Answer: It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor
This is a complicated question. As I see it, the answer depends on your age, your family history, the extent of your present hair loss, what steps you plan to take to prevent (as much as possible) ongoing hair loss, and what you mean by “going bald”. I'd also be interested to know what you mean ...
If swelling returns one months after your hair transplant, I would recommend that you return to see your doctor, get examined and that will tell him what caused the swelling which is clearly not normal
Sometimes bumps along the recipient area reflect how the grafts were placed. Grafts placed too high and not flush with the skin can cause bumps. You will know if this happened as it would have been evident at the time of the initial surgery
