Asked By:jmjohnmayer in Big Indian, NY

I has been 15days since my ht of 4000 grafts. My donor area started showing some red pimples all over the donor area. My doctor suggested that it is follicalitis and put me on cefadrox and citrigen for 4 days. Is it fine to use these tabs for 4 days or do I have to use them for more days. Any suggestions.
