I have recently had a FUE hair transplant 2 months ago, realized I've been getting pimples with white heads on my donor area. I've consulted the surgeon but was told to take antibiotics to clear it. I have been taking the antibiotics and it seems to reduce some pimples but not entirely. Is this a normal effect after hair transplant? Or is it a sign of infection.
