Is this normal? 16 days post FUE and my donor area is very sensitive and sore. No swelling or fever. (photo)

Hello, Thank you for the question and uploading photo. It is very normal to have a sensitive donor area 2-3 weeks after the surgery.  The existing hair is growing back through the sores after the extraction, try to use some moisturizer to make the sores softer, and try not to lay down on your donor area for a few days.

Congratulations on your recent surgery!  It is very normal to be sensitive in the area of FUE harvest for up a few months following your procedure.  Your donor area in the photo looks to be growing in well and there is not unusual findings.  You may find it more comfortable to rest with your head elevated while it is still sensitive.
