I had a hair transplant 25 days ago with an experienced, reputable doctor who my dermatologist recommended. The recipient area has goosebumps (or a "cobblestone" look) on each of the graft sites, the area is pinkish (but slowly fading), and the skin feels rough like sandpaper. Is this temporary? My doctor said it was folliculitis and recommended T-Gel shampoo and applying bacitracin ointment. It hasn't helped b/c I'm unsure folliculitis is the problem. Is it scarring? Will it affect results?
