Hi, I am a male 25, I have had two previous hair transplants in the FRONT of my scalp..turned out GREAT. On March 4th 2008 I had my THIRD hair transplant on the CROWN area..I had 1500 grafts, its been two and a half months. On April 18th I coloured my hair. i didnt leave it on that long (10mins)… on the crown area I have scabs still and when i wash them off, the crown area is extremely pink and RAW with puss. Is this normal?
Also I lost MORE hair around the crown then before my surgery? no hairs have grown yet..is it normal for me to have puss and scabs two and a half months after surgery? Thanks
You seem to have two problems going on. Concerning the dye, you may have sustained a chemical burn and this can cause permanent hair loss. If you are losing more hair since the transplant I would want to know if you were taking Propecia (finasteride) before the surgery to protect against shock loss. The chemical dyes may have also impacted the hair you have in your crown area. See your hair transplant doctor and ask him/her to examine you and render an opinion. Pus and scabs two months after surgery is not a normal occurrence.
