FUE hair transplant and the medical inked outline from the procedure remains permanent - Help! (photos)

amaskrey
I have had a FUE hair transplant on my frontal region of my head (2,500 grafts). It is now 5 weeks after surgery and the medical inked outline from the procedure remains permanent. Is this normal, should this have happened and how can this be removed? Have had a nurse try to remove the line with rubbing alcohol for twenty minutes without any discoloring of the line.
