Is scalp itching or mild discomfort normal after PRP?

Yes, itching, mild tightness, tenderness or slight swelling are common after PRP as the scalp begins healing and blood flow increases to the follicles. These sensations typically fade within a few days. It’s important not to scratch or pick at your scalp, as this can cause irritation or risk infection. A cool compress (not ice directly on the scalp) may help relieve discomfort. If itching becomes severe or lasts longer than expected, you should contact your clinic, although this is rare.
