Bald Spot generated after 3 weeks post hair transplant. (photo)

I had 3000 fue grafts 5 weeks ago. After 3 weeks I started to have some inflammation. I applied antibiotics after consulting with my Dr. After 2 days, inflammation increased, I developed 1-2 pimples and I lost hair in that area. After consulting with Dr he said I might have folliculitis and prescribed augmentin and enzoflam. He said I might get hair in that area but if not I may get a few grafts transplanted. Is it normal to develop a bald spot due to some infection or inflammation?
