Asked By:bioceo in San Jose, CA

I got a FUE hair transplant about 20 days ago and I am past the scab phase and most of the hairs have fallen out due to change in hair state. My question is if you look at my head it still has some what appears to be fatty bumps or lumps in my head. I have been putting rogaine in my head now 4 days post op as per doctors instructions so that is why my head is really shiny at time of pic. Is this lumpy looking area where the hair was transplanted normal?
