I has been 15days since my ht of 4000 grafts. My donor area started showing some red pimples all over the donor area. My doctor suggested that it is follicalitis and put me on cefadrox and citrigen for 4 days. Is it fine to use these tabs for 4 days or do I have to use them for more days. Any suggestions.

Many things are possible with hair transplant surgery but you need an examination to make sure it is right for you.  A doctor needs to see you and examine your scalp.  You need to give your doctor clear goals and understand the limitations of surgery.
