2.5 months post-op from my first HT. Getting a lot of pimples in the recipient area. I've been to a walk-in doctor as well as my family doctor. Both diagnosed me with folliculitis. Family doctor prescribed me keflex. Been in regular contact with the clinic that performed the HT.

How can I tell the severity of the folliculitis?
