Hello, I received a hairline lowering (similar to facelift) about 6 weeks ago. My scar is red, and I assume it is because I have more blood; I bruised easily the week after the procedure. I noticed that on my right temple, there is a hard bump on the incision, making it more red and sensitive to the touch. I looked at it closely, and I think it might be an ingrown hair. How do I deal with this without causing a bigger scar and getting it infected? Thank you guys for your help!
