Am I losing grafts three months after my hair transplant or is this shedding or something else? (Photos)

I had an FUE procedure performed in early September 2017. However, I still occasionally notice what appears to be small bumps (pimple sized) on my head. This may happen a few times a week, and normally flake off easily if brushed. Although I read some things that say losing a graft only occurs within the first few weeks and is normally accompanied by bleeding, I'm still nervous. The bumps are not painful and are not bleeding. I do have acne occasionally on my head, but this seems different.
