How to fade FUE hair transplant recipient site skin discoloration? (Photo)

Question

I had FUE 4 weeks ago of 2000 grafts. Eight Hundred grafts to hairline and 1200 to crown. Scabs fell off day 10. Recipient site is particularly noticeable. My skin scars easily. Is it wise to use skin fade creams? Is there anything I can do to fade the discolouration? I have a crucial event to attend in 4 weeks time. Will any products with ingredients such as azelaic acid, kojic acid or hydroquinone adversely affect the grafts or the pigment of grafts? Are there any product recommendations ?

There isn't a specific product to hide your scar.  You may want to ask your doctor for recommendations.  You can always comb your hair forward.

Go back to your doctor and ask your doctor for advice. He should be the one dealing with your problem as he has a vested interest to make you happy and successful with your surgery
