Have you been examined in person by any dermatologists or any other doctors?

That's frustrating! It sounds like you are doing everything right but it's just a waiting game to see when it will heal on its own. As gillenator mentioned, you might want to consult with a dermatologist who will have more first-hand knowledge about skin conditions such as this. He or she might have some ideas for intervention or at least be able to give you an indication of how much longer it will take to heal.

I think it was irresponsible of your surgeon to advise you to sit tight and wait it out. I listened to Spencer Kobren’s advice on this thread http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=2367 and I think he made the most sense. That dead tissue should have been addressed immediately. I think that the area will have to be removed and your doctor should be the one to take care of this complication and the extra expense. An experienced hair transplant surgeon would not have put you through these many months of unnecessary stress. I think this doctor didn’t know how to address this complication or what he was doing in the first place. It comes down to experience and know how.

well he has finally decided to do something .. I have surgery planned for tuesday ! He is gonna cut and stitch both ends !
I saw him yesterday and he admitted its not healing fast .. He told me that there is hyper-granulation tissue which is bulging out of the skin and making the healing slow ...
Im so frustrated with this that I immediately said yes to surgery .. Hope its the correct decision ..

You may want to still get examined by a few dermatologists who have dealt with this type of thing before. There probably would not be a charge for the exam. Something to ask about up front.

How did your surgery go to remove the necrosis? Gillenator's suggestion to see a good dermatologist is well warranted in this case.
