Skin discolouration from sun exposure after hairline transplant

[killersoup1]

Hey,

15 days after my 500 graft hairline transplant, I forgot to wear a hat for the first time out in the sun, I had 40 minutes of pretty intense sun exposure. There was no discolouration or pain for the first 2 days, but now the recipient area has turned red. I read that there is a possibility for permanent discolouration after sun exposure, is this correct? is there anything I can do to avoid this happening?

Nope, again, you're fine but like I said in your last post asking about sunburn, ask your clinic. Every time, not the interwebs.
