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.

Answer: What can I use to treat or reduce the pimples (ingrown hairs) from my donor area?
If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. This may or may NOT be normal. You may have had graft loss after surgery. In addition, not all the grafts may have take (failed grafts).
It may take 6 to 12 months to see the results of a hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned it is best to discuss it with your doctor.If you are considering another procedure, you should wait to see the results of your first procedure before moving forward.
If you are considering surgery it would be best to discuss your condition(s) with your doctor and surgeon. The surgeon needs to examine you to give you a better assessment and clear you for surgery.
