    Scar itchiness

    I know that itchiness means that the scar is healing, but holy cow, it is really, really itchy.

    I had a hair transplant 2 weeks ago. Is this normal?

    It's totally normal and, as you said, it means the scar is healing. Although it's not anything to worry about, it's certainly annoying.

    We often recommend our patients use Hair Cycle Post Surgical Gel to optimize donor area healing. This can be used in conjunction with Hair Cycle Post Biotin Spray which alleviates itching and soothes the scalp post-transplant.

      A little cortisone, external analgesic, is often recommended by your doctor. Even topical benedryl helps the itching once the epidermis heals.
