Concerned with large scars after FUE transplant 36 days post-op. Any ideas why this is happening? (Photo)

CptObvious2016
FUE 36 days ago. Hair in donor area is growing back but there are circular areas ranging in sizes from dime to nickel that are not growing any hair back. There were major scabs in these areas after surgery that eventually fell off w/ time and washing. The reason I did FUE vs FUT was to avoid scarring. These scars are bigger than the FUT scars I've seen. I've never had keloid in my life so I'm not prone to that type of scarring. mixed race African American/White 44 yrs old Any ideas why this is happening?
