I had an eyebrow transplant nearly two months ago and still have alot of pinkness in the transplanted area, which also goes much redder after I have had a shower. I am presuming that this is because I have histamine positive skin. I asked my doctor and he said it would go within a week of the operation. Can you give me your advice, as you are the only doctor I can find who mentions anything about histamine positive skin. Obviously I am concerned that it will not go away. I did have a very bad reaction to the surgery with two black eyes and terrible swelling which tooks weeks to go. thanks alot
Generally, the redness goes away after about a week or two. Histamine positive skin is a general description of how your body reacts to irritation with resultant vasodilitation. The good news is that the redness will slowly fade away. You may consider the use of topical steroids, but do not use them for more than a week, twice a day. A light makeup to disguise the redness may help. It will not affect the transplanted hairs.
