Hey guys,
I had my hair transplant 3 days ago tun turkey.

This is how I looked after the procedure

I immediately asked them about the spot on my head and they said I shouldn’t worry, it’s „normal“.
And this is how it looks today:

Does anyone know what this might be? An infection? Something worse? Or is it really just normal?

It looks like fibrin, it’s nothing to worry about. Read this post to see the similarities.

Thanks, but i dont think its the same thing. My scalp looks yellow, because of the cream the gave me. The spot iam talking about literally looks like the flesh under the skin.
Could it maybe be the beginning of a scalp necrosis?

It’s hard to say one way or the other.
Maybe go see your GP to see what they think. If you’re really concerned you could ask the clinic for some antibiotics or cream.

They already gave me some antibiotics, but only for 5 days. Yeah, i will see my dermatologist next week, just thought that maybe someone had an idea of what it could be.
(I will upload another picture after my wash tomorrow, for better view of my scalp)

Surely Necrosis of the scalp wouldn't happen/or start this quick? Your likely just over thinking things due to the huge nature of having a transplant. Me id See what it looks like after the wash tomorrow and maybe see a doctor if it persists.

I agree with the other comments, and keep a watchful eye on the spot just to be sure.
