Swelling will begin to resolve around now and usually be gone around Day 8-10
Itching will start to annoy you. Itching is the most cumbersome part about your recovery. It is normal for itching to last a few weeks but can take a few months.
Scabs and hair will begin to fall out. Seeing hair fall our seems scary, but it’s normal. After a hair replacement, the shafts of most transplanted hairs will fall out, but the follicles are seated within your scalp.
What you need to do
Continue everything else from previous, except the following:.
Finish your antibiotics +/- steroid as prescribed.
Stop using bacitracin/neosporin/polysporin
What you start doing
Sleep in a normal position
Moderate exercise (sweating is fine, no straining)
Wear a cap. No part of the cap should touch your newly grafted hairs. It is fine for the cap to touch the hair collection area.
Go in the sun with a cap
What not to do
Do not itch your hairs or scabs regardless of how bad the itching is.
