When does the scalp ( transplanted area ) redness go away. I'm white as a ghost
 and the red area really stands out. My wife says it's hard to notice, but like all of us here I notice it BIG TIME. Is there a product to help this ? |

how far along are you post op? maybe you could go tanning. I went to one of those ultra brozing places and it turns you dark, but doesnt burn your skin. You just dont want the transplanted area to burn or exposed to sun.

Some folks on this forum swear by emu oil. I don't know if it affects the growth of the grafts or not. Based on what I have read, it apparently does not.

Emu oil ? Hmmmmmm...sounds like it comes from a Donkey ha ha. I'll give it a shot.
It's been 2.5 weeks for me. Tanning huh ? Can this hurt my transplants ? |

I've heard of tanning before the HT to disguise the redness. Anyone know how quickly you can "safely" tan after HT?

Hyper pigmentation is a permanent redness condition. Stay out of the sun. I am very fair skinned and my redness (pinkness) slowly faded over a 2.5 month period.

you cant go to a regular tanning place. A regular tanning bed will burn you. I went to a place that doesnt use uv rays, or that was my understanding, but I can go for 30 min and never burn, I just turn brown. At a regular tanning place I would fry if I attempted 30 min.

I went to H & M and bought a bunch of cool hats.
 This healing/recovery time sucks. Not much you can do except keep the area clean, eat healthy, drink plenty of mineral water, and just wait. |

Is it abnormal to have hardly any discoloration? I see a bunch of hairs that held on and a slight pinkish color, but nothing very pronounced...

Yes, it's normal. Some people are lucky and have little redness.

Sweet...again, I think my nearly perfect diet and youth have a lot to do with my quick and painless recovery, more than anything else. Taking care of yourself really does produce results when it comes to things like recovering from surgery. My body was also very used to heavy workouts and recovery from those, so since I was out of service for about 8 days, my body's recovery resources were all going to helping with my HT sites. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

I did notice when I cut back on working out, mainly just cardio, my scar area started healing faster, and that throbing pain went away.

I only had redness that first week, I am Black. The redness around my scar area lasted a few weeks.

Much of it has to do with your skin type, the density of the transplant and probably other factors. It varies greatly from person to person.

My biggest fear right now is that things seem "too good to be true" and I somehow compromised my results by slightly rubbing the scabs on Day 9. I think I'm just overthinking...my little hairs are there, no scalp irritation, and no "divets" to be seen. Things just seem great. I guess it's hard to believe based on the way it looked on day 2 to the way it looked on day 8. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

I thought I washed my transplants down the drain at day 6, most of the scabs started falling off in the shower. I was very worried until I went in for my post HT follow-up.

My head was really red and never really went away until it began to get covered up with hair Dr. Keene said "tincture of Time" it was true. during that dormant stage where the hair fell out and before it began to grow in I did use some of my wifes makeup to take the edge off the redness but remeber that no one out there (except you and your significant other) really care what you look like. Its all about you for YOU... no one get's HT's for someone else.
