Asked By:jlo74 in Atlanta, GA

Is this normal?, I talked to my Dr, he said some ppl has these reactions that this is normal, I had 2 transplants B4 and never happened like this, this is painful full of pus and very depressing, I know some zits are fine but you'll see Pictures what should I do, just wait or see another certified doctor in transplants , I started the treatment 16 days ago, and my head looks every day worse I'm scared, I already went to a dermatologist and they took a sample of the pus, I'm waiting for results
