Answer: FUE Folliculitis and Shockloss in Donor Area Listen since I have thousands of FUE cases under my belt we have run into this from time to time. It is folliculitis. Folliculitis is cause by a trapped hair more than likely by a transected graft during an FUE harvest. Now while warm compresses do help, the best thisng to do is call your physician and receive an antibiotic such as Keflex. Also the loss of hair is exceedingly rare but it is called shockloss. The problems with the folliculitis could exacerbate the problem and cause more shock loss. Please try to correct this.

Answer: Still itching with a lot of red spots 6 weeks after transplant Because of trauma at the harvesting donor area , it is normal to observe telogen efflivium and shedding of your native hair. it will be over in 2 months and you have more hair at back . For small red pimples I advice hot compress on the skin . You may start to an anti histaminic to relieve your itching by prescribtion of your doc.

Answer: Folliculitis Folliculitis of the donor area after Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is not uncommon. Basically, it is inflammation of the individual donor sites, causing redness and itching. Depending on its severity, you can treat it with a course of antibiotics, an antihistamine like Claritin, a short course of steroids, or a steroid cream. Your surgeon will help you decide what is best after examining you. Warm moist compresses can help as well. As for shedding, telogen effluvium (shock loss from surgery) typically is complete by 2-4 months. Remember, 94-97% of hair transplant patients are ultimately happy with their results, so give it time.
