7 weeks after Seth's hair restoration procedure

Most of the conditions I spoke of in my last blog entry are actually still with me – in particular, the numbness and the spotting. The transplanted area is less sensitive now than it was (although not entirely back to normal). But now I’ve entered into a new phase of recovery – my scalp is breaking out. 

Yes, the hair transplant area on my head looks a lot like my face did when I was 14 years old. There is hair up there now to hide it – no one has looked at me or treated me like a doomed character from a Stephen King novel. And it doesn’t bother me unless I touch it – then it is rather sensitive.

Oddly, it’s a different kind of sensitive than what I was feeling on my scalp before. It seems like I can tell the sensitivity is more topical this time – it has to do with the breakouts sitting on my scalp, not the recovery of my scalp itself – if that makes any sense. Still not great. I do remember this from last time, and I know that it’s a normal part of the process. So I’m not real worried about this one, but I am looking forward to having it be over.
