hey guys i have a problem im abit concerned about..... about a month ago i noticed i had a sor lump like swelling directly under the scar site at one corner of my head....... nothing came out of it like a zit or spot...... it was there for a day or two then went completely away!!! the only problem is ive just noticed another one and it sore also but in a slightly different area of the donor scar???????? im quite confident that after a day or two it will go away!!!! but im really confused as to why it happens and worried incase its not good......

the only thing i can compare it to is boil like except it isnt a spot or zit and it goes away very quickly unlike boils etc......

this time it came up after i had been scratching the back of my head could it be damage under the scar due to scratching i dunno??

cheers j

dont worry i used to get them now and again in my recipiant site no puss just a sore lump that itches a bit, it will just be hair popping through as a few will have probly got trapped when the scar was stapled together, nothing worth worrying about IMHO but im not a doc

yeah i had them too, turned out to be a giant zit..

If sutures were used, it could be a suture reaction.

Yep, even after 2 months post HT, I have some swelling/lumps in the donor area. I am assuming it's normal. It hasn't bothered me, in terms of pain or anything, so far.

thanks very much guys for your replys..... im not to concerned but now im a forum member i just thought it wouldnt hurt to ask?

its still there today still sore but less so than lastnight!! it sits directly under the suture line which has healed well raising it up about a pee sized lump that stings abit???

the last one i had totally went away after a few days i fully expect this one to do the same jus curiouse to know what it is???

i guess it could be anything from, a zit reallt deep under the scar skin to a in growing hair to a reaction....

oh well if it burts and a alien jumps out i will be sure to let you all know. ha ha
