Hair Loss Information25 Days After Surgery, There Was Blood On My Pillow from My Donor Area – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

I recently had a hair transplant ( 25 ) days ago. I had a trichophytic closure in the back and other than itchyness i haven’t had any problems. But today ( 25 days post op ) I woke up and my donor suture are in back bleed a little on my pillow ( dime worth ). I have been obsessively carefull and have not done anything remotely athletic or strenuous since surgery. Why did this happen? The only thing i could think of is i sleeped high on my pillow and slowly slide down. Do i need to do anything different? Should i have it looked at? Ultimately my concern is, is this going to effect the healing / scaring in the end? Is it possible that just by sleeping wrong / sliding down my pillow could stretch apart my donor area and produce a bigger / wider scar this long after surgery.

FYI my sutures were removed 11 days after surgery.

You need to be evaluated by your doctor. I can not guess what is happening to you, but I could write a small book on the things that can cause donor bleeding, including infection, suture reactions to deep sutures, folliculitis, etc.

So please, go back to your doctor. If I was your doctor, I would be responsive and concerned and would want to see you myself.
