What can I use to treat or reduce the pimples (ingrown hairs) from my donor area? (Photos)

I recently had a FUE procedure done, I'm 2 weeks post-op. My donor area has broke out into alot of pimples. My doner area is sensitive and painful and also itches alot. I have finished all my antibiotics and was told by the medical office that performed my FUE this is normal and I should wash my hair with baby shampoo x2 a day and use warm towels to pop the pimples (ingrown hairs). This has not been working, I have been researching and all I can find is that FUE is not good for curly hair.
