Asked By:sina.sadeghi91 in Vancouver, BC

I had FUE hair transplant 3 months ago. 5 days after my surgery, an unusual red area appeared on my head (pictures 1&2). In next days, this area became white while taking bath (picture 3). After one week, a night when I took bath, this area was separated as an extra white skin, but its follicles still existed and grew for next 3-4 days (pictures 4&5). 3 weeks after my surgery, the follicles of this area fell out extremely more than other areas. Now, the follicles of this area have not grown yet.
